Inlaid PTFE water lubricated copper sleeve bearing

Inlaid PTFE water lubricated copper sleeve bearing

The self-lubricating copper sleeve inlaid with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a water-lubricated copper sleeve bearing produced by Mingxu Machinery. This product shows excellent performance under water lubrication conditions. PTFE is a polymer material with extremely low friction coefficient and good chemical stability, and is often used as a solid lubricant. When PTFE is embedded in a copper sleeve, it can form a stable lubricating film in a water-lubricated environment, effectively reducing friction and wear.
The following are the main performance characteristics of inlaid PTFE water-lubricated copper sleeve bearings under water-lubricated conditions:

• Excellent lubrication performance: PTFE has an extremely low friction coefficient and can form a uniform lubricating film under water lubrication conditions, reducing the friction between the copper sleeve and the mating parts to an extremely low level. This lubricating film is not only stable, but can also be maintained for a long time, ensuring the stability and reliability of the copper sleeve in long-term operation.
• Good wear resistance: PTFE has good wear resistance and can maintain its lubrication performance for a long time under water lubrication conditions. At the same time, the copper sleeve itself also has high strength and hardness and can withstand certain loads and impacts, further improving its wear resistance.
• Environmental protection and energy saving: Water lubrication is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving lubrication method. Compared with traditional oil lubrication, water lubrication does not cause oil pollution and waste oil disposal problems, reducing maintenance costs and environmental pollution. At the same time, the heat dissipation performance of water is also better than that of oil, and it can better control the temperature of the copper sleeve during operation.
• Wide applicability: Inlaid PTFE self-lubricating copper sleeves are suitable for various occasions that require water lubrication, such as ships, hydropower, mining machinery and other fields. In these fields, copper sleeves need to withstand high load, high speed and high frequency friction and wear, and inlaid PTFE self-lubricating copper sleeves can provide stable lubrication performance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

It should be noted that although the inlaid PTFE self-lubricating copper sleeve has excellent performance under water lubrication conditions, the following points still need to be noted in practical applications:

• Keep the water clean and at a suitable temperature: Impurities in the water and excessive temperature may affect the formation and stability of the PTFE lubricating film, so the water needs to be replaced and cleaned regularly, and the water temperature must be controlled within a suitable range.
• Regular inspection and maintenance: Although the inlaid PTFE self-lubricating copper sleeve has a long service life and low maintenance costs, regular inspection and maintenance are still required to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
• Choose the appropriate installation method and fitting accuracy: The correct installation method and fitting accuracy are crucial to ensuring the lubrication performance of the inlaid PTFE self-lubricating copper sleeve. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the gap and matching accuracy between the copper sleeve and the mating parts meet the design requirements.
