DX/SF-2T Tin-plated Steel-Based Boundary Lubricating Bushing (Red PTFE)
This product features a high-quality low-carbon steel substrate, a sintered spherical bronze intermediate layer, and a surface layer of specially formulated resin composed of acetal and oleophilic fibers. It offers a low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance, and self-lubrication even in oil-free conditions.
Ideal for applications where hydrodynamic lubrication is difficult to maintain—such as frequent starts/stops, oscillating motion, or continuous operation under boundary lubrication—it requires minimal maintenance. Occasional relubrication can further extend service life. The surface layer can be machined after installation for a precise fit.
Widely used in construction machinery (hoists, bulldozers), industrial equipment (printing/dyeing machines, coal miners, punches, cranes), automotive chassis, metallurgical, mining, hydraulic, agricultural, and steel rolling machinery. Its lead-free composition makes it suitable for environmentally sensitive applications.
