Cylindrical Bushes
Standard plain bearings suitable for a wide range of rotary and oscillating applications.
Permaglide® is a globally recognised plain bearing technology designed for applications requiring low friction, excellent wear resistance and reduced maintenance. The range includes PTFE, PVDF and PEEK based bearing materials, allowing engineers to select the most suitable solution for specific operating conditions.
PTFE-based materials operate without routine lubrication.
Excellent sliding performance and reduced wear.
Designed for demanding industrial environments.
Available in PTFE, PVDF and PEEK material options.
Maintenance-free operation with extremely low friction, excellent dry-running capability and outstanding wear resistance.
Low-maintenance bearing materials designed for higher loads and enhanced thermal conductivity.
Premium bearing technology for highly demanding industrial applications requiring maximum performance.
Permaglide® plain bearings are manufactured using a multi-layer construction that combines high load capacity with excellent wear resistance and low friction.
PTFE, PVDF or PEEK based bearing surface providing low friction and excellent wear characteristics.
Sintered bronze layer providing mechanical strength and excellent bonding between the sliding layer and backing.
Precision steel backing delivers rigidity, dimensional stability and efficient heat dissipation.
Excellent sliding performance reduces operating temperatures and improves efficiency.
Advanced bearing materials provide long operating life under demanding industrial conditions.
Efficient heat transfer improves reliability and bearing performance.
Lower servicing requirements help reduce downtime and operating costs.
Suspension components, steering systems and chassis applications.
Heavy-duty plant and material handling equipment.
Hydraulic cylinders, pivots and articulated joints.
Production machinery, conveyors and automation systems.
Tractors, harvesters and agricultural implements.
Equipment operating in corrosive environments where reliable performance is essential.
