Stainless steel bushings with Kevlar liner material and TEX fiberglass lining offer superior performance in a range of demanding applications. The combination of stainless steel (SST) metal, Kevlar liner, and TEX fiberglass lining provides exceptional strength, wear resistance, and chemical resistance.

SST metal, commonly referred to as stainless steel, is a corrosion-resistant alloy that is widely used in industrial applications. It offers excellent durability and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

The Kevlar liner material adds an additional layer of protection and reinforcement to the stainless steel bushings. Kevlar is a high-performance synthetic fiber that is renowned for its strength and durability. It provides excellent wear resistance and can withstand high temperatures and pressures.

The TEX fiberglass lining further enhances the performance of the bushings. , or polytetrafluoroethylene, is a non-stick material that offers excellent chemical resistance and low friction. Fiberglass is a composite material made of glass fibers that is also known for its strength and durability. The combination of and fiberglass creates a lining that is resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals, ensuring smooth operation and long service life.

Overall, stainless steel bushings with Kevlar liner material and TEX fiberglass lining are an excellent choice for applications that require high strength, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. They are suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery.

Types of Plain Bearings (Bushings)

A plain bearing, also known as a bushing, is a mechanical element used to reduce the friction between rotating shafts and stationary support elements. Typically, a bushing relies on soft metal or plastic and an oil film to support the rotating shaft on the hardened journal. Plain bearings are mainly used in machines that have a rotating or sliding shaft component.Also called pillow block bearings, plain bearings or plain bearings, plain bearings do not have rolling elements. Some are made of relatively soft metal, such as Babbit, to protect the shaft necks. They are also made from other materials, depending on the application and load requirements. Other bushings can be used for leveling devices in drilling operations.

Bushing Material Types

Material choice for plain bearings is far greater than for ball and roller bearings owing to the need to find material that can support self-lubricating bearings parts, provide bases that are softer than shaft journals, provide plain bearing composite material, etc. Load and speeds play a big role in determining materials, as do environmental conditions. Dry-running plastic bushings are favored in pharmaceutical and food packaging where oil and metal are considered potentially harmful if they can contaminate the products. Stainless Steel Backed Lubricated Bushing can sometimes be used in marine applications where fabric layer serves as a lubricant . Stainless Steel Bushings Kevlar Liner Material Strips TEX Fiberglass Lined is the traditional material for hydrodynamic bearings used in turbomachines. Materials for sleeve bearings are often composed of alloys of steel backed bronze bushing, which satisfy the various requirements of lubrication and resiliency.

Stainless steel fabric bushings,this kind of bushings widely used in valve,oil, chemistry, metallurgy.It has flexible bearings, no maintenance, low installation accuracy, good shock absorption and impact resistance. Low noise characteristics, and due to the high strength of the fiber material and the support of the steel back, it has the unique advantage of high load capacity. In general sports, it is advisable to maintain proper clearance between the inner hole and the shaft. The size of the gap can be referred to the  type product. The outer diameter of the bearing and the seat hole are generally interference fit. The interference can also be referred to the  type product.

Metal matrix fabric composite sheet has more flexibility than general rigid bearings due to the 0.25mm thickness of fiber cloth lubrication layer. In some low-speed rocking motions, the bearing inner hole and the pin shaft can be used without gaps or even interference. Cooperate, this can better exert its shock absorption and low noise performance; such bearings are mainly used in low-speed, heavy-duty oil and grease lubrication, and can also be used in oil-free lubrication.

TEX bearing use the fibres fabric and aramid fiber overlay on metal backings,the fabric have very high load capacity and high accuracygood run with low speed and heavy friction superior performance

Polytetrafluoroethylene fiber /Kevlar

VIIPLUS TEX fiber metal base self-lubricating bearing is a self-lubricating composite bearing material made of high-quality low-carbon steel plate, bronze plate or stainless steel plate as the matrix, with the woven fabric of fiber as the friction surface layer.

The two are rolled into sliding bearing by means of a solid bond of structural adhesive.In order to guarantee the bonding strength between fiber and metal sheet, the woven fabric is made of special filament and aramid filament.

The bearing has the characteristics of high bearing capacity, good wear resistance, suitable temperature, wide range of medium, simple structure, compact size and good stability.

Polytetrafluoroethylene () is a kind of self-lubricating material with excellent performance.But the wear resistance is poor because of the low strength.At present, most of the fibers or other fillers are used to improve the wear resistance, the effect is very limited.And polytetrafluoroethylene fiber has tensile strength 15 times higher than pure polytetrafluoroethylene resin, to make up for the lack of this aspect, wear resistance is greatly improved, at the same time, the fiber also avoids the occurrence of cold flow phenomenon of polytetrafluoroethylene resin.
Polytetrafluoroethylene fiber metal base self-lubricating bearings are divided into steel base, copper base and stainless steel base three.

Maximum load pressure: 180Mpa

Friction factor: 0.03~0.20
