SF-1 Oilless Bearing Manufacturer
Zhejiang Shuangnuo Bearing Technology Co., Ltd. is a specialized SF-1 Oilless Bearing manufacturer and factory in China, focused on the research, development, and production of self-lubricating composite bearings. Our SF-1 series is built on a low-carbon steel backing, a sintered spherical porous bronze interlayer, and a PTFE-based wear-resistant surface layer. This triple-layer construction delivers high mechanical load capacity, effective heat dissipation, and reliable dry-running performance for demanding industrial applications.
We supply the full SF-1 range—from standard cylindrical bushings to flanged bearings, thrust washers, and slide strips—and support ODM/OEM customization. Our integrated production, from in-house casting of raw materials to CNC finishing, ensures consistent quality and short lead times for global customers.

Application Fit and Engineering Value
SF-1 bearings are designed to operate without external lubrication, making them ideal for locations where maintenance access is difficult or where oil contamination must be avoided. Common sectors include port machinery, construction equipment, rolling stock, mining machinery, mold guides, and light industrial automation.
We provide application engineering support to select the correct SF-1 variant based on load, speed, temperature, and environmental factors. Our team works with your drawings to recommend the optimal material grade and configuration, ensuring reliable performance and extended service life.
Critical Specifications and Performance Data
Our SF-1 bearings are manufactured to tight tolerances and verified through rigorous testing. Typical performance parameters include:
- Static load capacity: up to 250 N/mm²
- Max PV (dry running, continuous): 1.8 N/mm²·m/s
- Operating temperature range: -195°C to +280°C
- Friction coefficient: 0.05 to 0.20
- Max dry running speed: 2 m/s
These values are achieved through our controlled sintering process and precision finishing. We can provide detailed test reports upon request.
Quality Assurance and Testing
As a quality-focused SF-1 Oilless Bearing supplier, we maintain strict control from raw material to finished product. We independently cast our copper alloys and perform spectrometer analysis three times—before, during, and after melting—to confirm material composition. We also commission national testing agencies for periodic verification of mechanical properties and can supply authoritative reports.
Our factory is equipped with over 80 CNC machines, lathes, and machining centers, enabling integrated production and consistent dimensional accuracy. Every batch is inspected to ensure it meets your specifications.
Customization and Configuration Options
We offer ODM/OEM services for SF-1 bearings, including custom sizes, flanges, grooves, and surface treatments. Whether you need a standard metric bushing or a special profile, we can manufacture to your drawings. Our engineering team will work with you to define the correct material grade and dimensional tolerances for your application.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare an accurate quotation and design, please provide the following details:
- Bearing type (e.g., SF-1, SF-1T) and dimensions (ID, OD, length)
- Operating load (radial/axial) and speed
- Temperature range and environmental conditions (humidity, chemicals)
- Shaft material and surface finish
- Lubrication availability (dry, boundary, or hydrodynamic)
- Required quantity and target delivery schedule
With this information, we can recommend the optimal SF-1 variant and provide a detailed proposal.
FAQs
What is the difference between SF-1 and SF-1T?
SF-1 is a general-purpose bearing for dry or boundary lubrication, while SF-1T has a specially formulated PTFE surface for high PV applications like gear pumps, where hydrodynamic lubrication is present. SF-1T offers a higher PV limit (up to 120 N/mm²·m/s) under hydrodynamic conditions.
Can SF-1 bearings be used without any lubrication?
Yes, SF-1 bearings are designed for maintenance-free operation. The PTFE-based surface layer provides self-lubrication, eliminating the need for oil or grease in most applications.
Do you provide custom sizes?
Absolutely. We offer ODM/OEM services and can manufacture SF-1 bearings to your exact specifications, including non-standard dimensions and special features like flanges or grooves.
What quality documentation do you supply?
We provide material certificates, inspection reports, and, upon request, authoritative test reports from national agencies confirming chemical composition and mechanical properties.
What is the typical lead time?
Lead time depends on the complexity and quantity. Our integrated production allows us to organize material quickly, and we will confirm a specific schedule when you submit your inquiry.
