The DU® Cylindrical Bushes - Inch Size, specifically part number 16DU12, are designed for a variety of industrial applications including aerospace, agricultural equipment, and food processing machinery. These self-lubricating bushings provide excellent wear resistance and low friction performance under a wide range of loads, speeds, and temperatures, particularly in dry running conditions. The bushings are suitable for linear, oscillating, and rotating movements and are compliant with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR 25.853 and FAR 25.855), making them appropriate for use in aircraft interiors. They can operate effectively in both lubricated and non-lubricated environments, with a maximum dynamic load capacity of 36,000 psi and a static load capacity of 50,000 psi. The product features a metal backing with a porous bronze sinter layer and a PTFE-based bearing lining, which enhances thermal conductivity and dimensional stability. Recommended shaft surface roughness is Ra ,⧠2-16 Oºin, and the bushings are available in standard dimensions with options for custom designs.
Our metal-backed, PTFE-based (polytetrafluoroethy
The metal backing provides mechanical strength, while the bronze sinter layer provides a strong mechanical bond between the backing and the bearing lining. This construction promotes dimensional stability and improves thermal conductivity.
These polymer bearing linings, being predominantly PTFE, offer exceptionally low friction.
