The SF-TEX corrosion-resistant self-lubricating stainless steel bushing bearing is engineered for demanding industrial applications. Its PTFE fabric lining ensures low friction, maintenance-free operation, while the stainless steel body provides superior corrosion resistance, making it perfect for food processing, marine, and chemical environments.
- Self-lubricating – PTFE-embedded fabric reduces friction, eliminating the need for external grease.
- Corrosion-resistant – Made from high-grade stainless steel, ideal for wet & acidic conditions.
- High load capacity – Supports heavy-duty machinery without wear deformation.
- Low maintenance – No relubrication required, reducing downtime.
- Wide temperature range – Performs reliably in high-temperature environments (up to 260°C / 500°F).
Applications
- Food & Beverage Machinery (FDA-compliant, no contamination risk)
- Chemical Processing Equipment (Resists acids, alkalis, and solvents)
- Marine & Offshore Applications (Withstands saltwater corrosion)
- Automotive & Heavy Machinery (Handles high loads with minimal wear)
- Pharmaceutical & Medical Devices (Non-toxic, hygienic design)
