The addition of Bronze to Bronze Powder Filled PTFE Tube better dimensional stability and lowers creep, cold flow and wear. It increases hardness and compressive strength whilst also increasing thermal and electrical conductivity
Style KXT BU980 Bronze filled PTFE Tube
PTFE Bronze filled is the most common metal fillers and it is dark brown in color. Bronze filler has excellent wear & creep resistance, and higher thermal conductivity that glass fiber with PTFE. Adding bronze in percentages of weigh between 40 t0 60% can increase wear. PTFE Bronze filled has poor chemical resistance in the presence of acid and alkali. PTFE Bronze Filled is machined and used in bearings at high speeds when shafts are not hardened. It is useful in applications with higher mechanical loads and higher speed rubbing contact points where the bronze-filled supplies the strength and conductivity to carry away excess and unwanted heat
Advantages:
• The best wear properties of any filled PTFE
• Very heavy – high specific gravity
• Extremely hard wearing material
• Great deformation strengths
• Good thermal conductivity
• Electrically conductive
Application:
• Linear bearings
• Hydraulic seals
• Extrusion rings
• Piston Rings
• Guide ways
• Wear pads
• Bushings
• bearings
• Slides
