Metal-Polymer Composite Bearings

JBM-40

Steel Bronze Powder with PTFE/Fibre

JBM-40 product
PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Features & Benefits

Developed for high duty, oil lubricated, hydraulic applications. Designed mainly for using under lubricated conditions and it performs excellent wear resistance and low static/dynamic friction coefficient. Suitable for dry running, low coefficient of friction, lower wear, good sliding characteristics. The transfer film created can protect the mating metal surfaces. Suitable for rotating and oscillating movement, high chemical resistance, low absorption of water and swelling. Improved friction and wear resistance over the common JBM-50 range under lubricated operation.

MATERIAL COMPOSITION

Structure

JBM-40 structure
Layer Material Thickness Function
1 PTFE/Polymer fibres mixture 0.01~0.03mm Lead-free bearing layer provides an excellent initial transfer film, which effectively coats the mating surfaces of the bearing assembly, forming an oxide type solid lubricant film.
2 Sintered bronze powder 0.20-0.35mm Provides max. thermal conductivity away from the bearing surface, also serves as a reservoir for the PTFE mixture.
3 Steel backing Base Provides high load carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation.
