Technical Deep Dive: Manufacturing & Tolerances

VIIPLUS combines advanced processes to ensure precision:

• Weaving & Bonding: PTFE-Kevlar fabric is woven and bonded to stainless steel via phenolic resin.

• Surface Treatment: Sodium naphthalene complexation enhances PTFE adhesion, balancing wear resistance and bond strength.

Tolerance Standards:

Case Study: PTFE Fiber Optimization

A study on VIIPLUS’s PTFE-Kevlar composites revealed:

• 30% PTFE Content: Optimal for high-speed applications (lower friction at higher RPM).

• 80% PTFE Content: Superior for low-speed, high-load scenarios (reduced wear).

• Surface Treatment: 5-minute sodium naphthalene exposure maximized adhesion without significant wear loss.

Why VIIPLUS? Compliance & Customization

• Certifications: DIN 1494, ISO 3547, FDA, RoHS.

• Tailored Solutions: Imperial/metric sizes, split-type designs, and bespoke linings.

• Global Support: 24/7 engineering assistance and rapid prototyping.

Conclusion: Redefining Reliability in Motion Control

VIIPLUS’s PTFE-lined stainless steel bushings set new benchmarks in industries where failure is not an option. By merging self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, and precision tolerances, they deliver unmatched performance in the harshest environments.
