PTFE BUSH
A PTFE bush, also known as a PTFE sleeve or PTFE bearing, refers to a type of bushing or cylindrical sleeve made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material. Here's some information about PTFE bushings:
PTFE bushings offer several advantages:
Low Friction: PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction, which means it exhibits minimal resistance to motion. This low-friction property allows for smooth and efficient operation of rotating or sliding parts.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive substances. This makes PTFE bushings suitable for applications where exposure to chemicals is expected.
Self-Lubricating: PTFE has inherent self-lubricating properties, meaning it provides lubrication to the mating surfaces without the need for additional lubricants. This reduces maintenance requirements and ensures smooth operation.
High-Temperature Stability: PTFE can withstand high temperatures without significant degradation. It remains stable and maintains its properties even at elevated temperatures, making PTFE bushings suitable for applications with high operating temperatures.
