Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics - Bearings and Tolerance Rings Datasheets for Plain Bearings and Sleeve Bearings
Plain bearings and sleeve bearings (also referred to as bushings or journal bearings) are used to constrain, guide or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They function via a sliding action.

| NORGLIDE® is a composite material of NORGLIDE® MP bearing tape and steel backing. This combination of material improves load capabilities while maintaining the characteristics of NORGLIDE® MP, especially its sizing capability. | |
| NORGLIDE® MP is a maintenance-free bearing material with a woven metal fabric encapsulated in a wear-resistant PTFE compound which offers high-load capabilities. This combination of materials enables easy manual or... | |
| NORGLIDE® PRO is a steel material with a polygon-structured bronze layer on one side. Encapsulated in the polygon structure is a sliding layer of compounded PTFE tape. This combination of... | |
| NORGLIDE® SM is a composite material of compounded PTFE, bronze stretched metal and steel backing. This material structure combines the bearing characteristics of PTFE compound tape with the sizing capabilities... | |
| NORGLIDE® SMTL is a composite material of compounded PTFE, bronze stretched metal and steel backing. In contrast to NORGLIDE® SM, the bronze stretched metal in NORGLIDE® SMTL is separately precompressed and the PTFE... | |
| NORGLIDE® T is a composite material of compounded PTFE tape on a metal shell. This material structure enables machining of the bearing in the housing--which is an alternative to the sizing... | |
| NORGLIDE® H-type is a composite material based on the design of NORGLIDE® T bearings (tape and steel backing). Besides the properties of standard NORGLIDE® T in terms of tolerances and... | |
| Traditionally, for plain bearings, manufacturing tolerance ranges can cause high friction variation. To keep the friction low and reduce the variation, large clearance is required, which can cause rattle noise. |
