FAQ

Question?
What are the main advantages of a composite Steel-Bronze-PTFE bearing like the GLI BNF series?
Answer

These bearings are self-lubricating, making them maintenance-free. The composite structure provides high load capacity from the steel back, good heat dissipation from the bronze layer, and extremely low friction from the PTFE sliding surface. They are ideal for applications where lubrication is difficult or undesirable.

While the PTFE sliding surface is highly resistant to chemicals, the steel backing is susceptible to corrosion. For applications with significant moisture or corrosive agents, a stainless steel or all-bronze bearing might be a more suitable choice. A light oil or grease coating can provide some protection for the outer surfaces.

For optimal performance, the shaft tolerance should typically be h6-h8, and the housing tolerance should be H7. This ensures the correct press-fit and running clearance. Always consult the manufacturer's datasheet for specific application requirements and load calculations.
