The friction of SKF slid- ing materials against a technical surface depends principially on the load, sliding velocity, surface roughness of the mating surface and the lubrica- tion conditions. The lower coefficients of friction are obtained under high specific loads at low sliding velocities (not applicable to SKF Sintered Bronze). Both higher and lower friction can occur under extreme conditions. 7 Bushing Selection Overview of Technical Data 0 50 100 150 200 250 -50 -200 -150 Solid Sintered Wrapped POM PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Poly- Wound posite amide PTFE Stainless Composite Backed Composite Temperature, ° C Temperature range 0,00 0,05 0,10 0,15 0,20 Coefficient of friction Coefficient of friction μ Solid Sintered Wrapped PTFE POM Stainless PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Com- Backed Poly- Wound posite posite Composite amide Ambient temperature range (°C) for the different SKF sliding materials under normal operating conditions. Coefficient of friction (μ) under dry or initially lubricated operating conditions (typical values) for the different SKF sliding materials. ZBOZI.ARKOV.CZ The load capacity for a specific application also depends on several other factors, such as type of load, sliding velocity and frequency of oscillation. All sliding materials supplied by SKF can operate under rotational, oscillating and linear movements. The per- missible sliding velocity for a specific application also depends on such factors as load, shaft sur- face and heat removed. 8 0 1 2 3 5 Sliding velocity Sliding velocity, m/s Solid Sintered Wrapped PTFE POM Stainless PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Com- Backed Poly- Wound posite posite Composite amide Load capacity 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Surface pressure, N/mm 2 = dynamic = static Permissible continuous sliding velocity (m/s) at a load less than 1 N/mm 2 under dry or initially lubricated operating conditions for the different SKF sliding materials.

The surface roughness often has a significant influence on the operat- ing life. However, a sur- face roughness lower than 0,04 μm may have a negative effect. The heavier the load, the harder the shaft should be. High risk for embed- ding inprinting will also require a harder shaft. 9 Shaft recommendations Recommended ISO tolerance, surface roughness and suface hardness of the shaft for the different SKF sliding materials. e7 f7 f8 f8 f7 h7 h8 h8 g6 f7 h8 h9 h7 h8 e7 e8 0 Solid Sintered Wrapped PTFE POM Stainless PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Com- Backed Poly- Wound posite posite Composite amide Shaft surface roughness R a , μm 0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 Solid Sintered Wrapped PTFE POM Stainless PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Com- Backed Poly- Wound posite posite Composite amide Shaft surface hardness, HB 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 Solid Sintered Wrapped PTFE POM Stainless PTFE Filament Bronze Bronze Bronze Com- Com- Backed Poly- Wound posite posite Composite amide ZBOZI.ARKOV.CZ ZBOZI.ARKOV.CZ 11 SKF Solid Bronze The all-round runner Th e t r a d i t i o na l a n d ro b u s t b u s h i n g m at e r i a l No other cylindrical bushing is used in as many and as varied applications as solid bronze bushings. The solid bronze material is ideally suited for highly demanding applications in tough environments. SKF offers a standard assortment of both plain and flanged cylindrical bushings in accord- ance with ISO 4379 and DIN1850. SKF Solid Bronze bushings offer many features and advantages such as: • insensitive to dirty environment • resistant to shock loads and vibrations at slow speeds • enable operation with a poor shaft surface finish • good resistance to corrosive conditions • lubrication groove M at e r i a l SKF Solid Bronze bushings are made of a multi-component bronze, CuSn7ZnPb, which has a very good sliding properties. All surfaces of the solid bronze bushings are machined. M a i n a p p l i c at i o n s 1 ) SKF Solid Bronze bushings are intended for oscillating movements in both rota- tional and axial directions. SKF Solid Bronze bushings are not intended for rotating movements at medium or high speeds. Examples of applications are: • construction machinery • transport equipment • pulp and papermaking machinery • off-shore equipment L u b r i c at i o n SKF Solid Bronze bushings are intended to be lubricated with oil or grease. Lubri- cation not only improves the sliding prop- erties, but also reduces wear and prevents corrosion. Grease is usually used when lubrication is periodical, while in excep- tional cases, an oil bath is used. Seals are recommended when the bushing is to be used in an aggressive environment. All bushings with bore diameter of 14 mm and above incorporate an axial lubrication grove. 1) The performance of SKF Solid Bronze bushings depends on the interaction of load, lubrication, surface roughness, sliding velocity, and temperature encountered in specific applications.

The sintered bronze bushings consist of a porous bronze matrix impregnated with lubricant. The permissible sliding velocity for sintered bronze bushings is very high, which makes the bushings suit- able for rotating applications. SKF offers a full range of both plain and flanged cylindrical bushings. SKF Sintered Bronze bushings offer many features and advantages such as: • very high sliding velocity • no external lubrication required • maintenance-free operation • good frictional properties M at e r i a l SKF Sintered Bronze consists of a sintered metallic bronze and graphite matrix (1 % weight of graphite) with fully impregnated porosity. The material composition in SKF Sintered Bronze bushings is SINT A51 with a porosity volume of 28 % impreg- nated with mineral oil. Machining or grinding of the sliding surface of a porous sintered bushing is not recommended due to the risk of closing the bearing pores. M a i n a p p l i c at i o n s 1 ) SKF Sintered Bronze bushings are most suitable for applications with rotating movements and where the self-lubricating performance requirements are high. Examples of applications are: • electrical equipment • household equipment • printing machinery • machine tools L u b r i c at i o n While storing and mounting make sure that the bushing never comes into contact with any absorbent material, as this may drain the oil very quickly. It is therefore recommended to keep the bushing in the original packaging for as long as possible. Additional lubrication is usually not necessary. 1) The performance of SKF Sintered Bronze bushings depends on the interaction of load, lubrication, surface roughness, sliding velocity, and temperature encountered in specific applications.

They are particularly suitable for applications which must be re-lubricated due to dirty environments. The sliding surface is pro- vided with lubrication pockets which con- tribute to the enhanced lubrication per- formance. SKF offers a full range of both plain and flanged cylindrical bushings in accordance with ISO 3547 and DIN 1494. SKF Wrapped Bronze bushings offer many features and advantages such as: • insensitive to dirty environments • resistant to shock loads and vibrations at slow speeds • good resistance to corrosive conditions M at e r i a l SKF Wrapped Bronze is made completely of bronze, CuSn8. The bushings are pro- duced from strips which are then wrapped and calibrated. The working surface is machined and provided with diamond shaped indentations all over its sliding surface. These indentations serve as lubri- cant reservoirs, where lubricant is initially filled and progressively released during operation. M a i n a p p l i c at i o n s 1 ) SKF Wrapped Bronze bushings are suitable for both radial and axial move- ments. The bushings are well suited for machinery in dirty environments where shock loads and/or vibrations occur. Examples of applications are: • agricultural machinery • hoisting equipment • construction machinery • forest machinery L u b r i c at i o n Lubrication improves the sliding proper- ties, reduces wear and prevents corrosion since the metal surfaces of bushing and shaft are separated from each other. SKF Wrapped Bronze bushings are intended to be lubricated with grease or oil. All com- monly used greases can be used. Seals are recommended when the bearing is to be used in an aggressive environment. 1) The performance of SKF Wrapped Bronze bushings depends on the interaction of load, lubrication, surface roughness, sliding velocity, and temperature encountered in specific applications. 15 Diamond-shaped lubricant reservoirs Characteristics: Permiss. load (dyn/stat), N/mm 2 40/120 Permiss. sliding velocity, m/s 1,0 Friction coefficient μ (greased) 0,08 .. 0,15 Temperature range, °C − 40 .. + 150 Application recommendations: Shaft tolerance e7 – f8 Housing tolerance H7 Shaft roughness R a , μm 0,4 .. 0,8 Shaft hardness, HB 150 – 400 ZBOZI.ARKOV.CZ ZBOZI.ARKOV.CZ SKF PTFE Composite The long runner M a i n a p p l i c at i o n s 1 ) SKF PTFE Composite dry sliding bear- ings are suitable for applications where the load and self-lubrication requirements are high. Examples of applications are: • automotive applications • materials handling equipment • home appliances and consumer goods • textile machinery L u b r i c at i o n The PTFE-based sliding surface permits smooth, low-friction operation without lubrication or maintenance. During the running-in phase part of the covering layer of SKF PTFE Composite dry sliding bearings is transferred to the mating sur- face and forms a physically bonded lubricant film. The presence or continuous supply of oil or other non corrosive fluids may be advantageous and improve the perfomance of these bearings. 1) The performance of SKF PTFE Composite bearings depends on the interaction of load, lubrication, surface roughness, sliding velocity, and temperature encountered in specific applications. Note: Because of the lead content, SKF PTFE Composite type B should not be used in contact with food, beverage or pharma- ceutical products. Try to use SKF PTFE composite type E, SKF POM or Stainless Backed Composite bushings instead. 17 Long mai nte nanc e - f re e ope r ati ng l i f e d u e to l ow f r i c t i o n In applications where other materials have shown insufficient operating life SKF PTFE Composite dry sliding bearings can be the solution. SKF PTFE Composite is specially designed to operate without lubricant and is particularly suited for high load/medium speed applications. SKF offers a full range of cylindrical bushings in accordance with ISO 3547 and DIN 1494 as well as flanged bushings, thrust washers and strip. SKF PTFE Composite bearings offer many features and advantages such as: • maintenance-free operation • very good frictional properties • high load capacity • operating temperatures up to 250 °C • sliding velocity up to 2 m/s • small operating clearance M at e r i a l SKF PTFE Composite dry sliding bearings combine the mechanical strength of steel with the low friction of a PTFE-based self-lubricating sliding layer. The inter- mediate layer of porous tin bronze guaran- tees a strong bond between the backing and sliding surface and also improves the dissipation of heat generated during opera- tion. The bearing is available in two ver- sions. One with a sliding layer without any lead. This version has the suffix E. Another version where the sliding layer contains a minor amount of lead incorporates the suffix B. To protect the bearings from corrosion the steel backing is tin-plated. All SKF PTFE Composite dry sliding bearings can be machined, except for the sliding surface. however, a calibration is possible within certain limits.

As a result of the lubricant retention pockets on the sliding surface, SKF POM Com- posite bearings are especially well suited for applications in dirty environments where lubricant cannot be supplied con- tinuously or frequently. Examples of applications are: • agricultural equipment • construction machinery • materials handling equipment • home appliances and consumer goods L u b r i c at i o n SKF POM Composite bearings are de- signed to operate with marginal lubrica- tion and should initially be lubricated with grease. It is not necessary to re-lubricate, but the presence or continuous supply of lubricant extends bearing life considerably. To protect the mating surface against corrosion, grease can be periodically applied. O p t i m a l c o m b i nat i o n o f l ow m a i n t e na n c e u n d e r to u g h ru n n i n g c o n d i t i o n s SKF POM Composite is referred to as pre-lubricated because it requires only a trace of lubricant to operate satisfactorily for long periods. The material is designed to operate with marginal lubrication and effectively fills the gap between fully lu- bricated bearings and dry sliding bearings. SKF offers a full range of plain cylindrical bushings in accordance with ISO 3547 and DIN 1494, as well as thrust washers and strip. SKF POM Composite bushings offer many features and advantages such as: • maintenance-free operation • very good frictional properties • high load capacity • high sliding velocity • small operating clearance M at e r i a l SKF POM Composite sliding bearings are specially designed to operate with marginal lubrication. The sliding surface has a highly effective grease retention system with lubrication pockets, which serve as grease reservoirs. SKF POM Composite consists of three bonded layers: a copper plated steel backing strip and a sintered porous tin bronze matrix covered with an acetal (polyoxymethylene, POM) resin. To protect the bearing from corrosion the steel backing is tin plated. All SKF POM Composite sliding bearings can be ma- chined. However, any machining of the sliding surface should only be undertaken in exceptional cases. 19 Characteristics: Permiss. load (dyn/stat), N/mm 2 120/250 Permiss. sliding velocity, m/s 2,0 (p ≤ 1,0) Friction coefficient μ 0,04 .. 0,12 Temperature range, °C − 40 .. + 110 Application recommendations: Shaft tolerance h7 – h8 Housing tolerance H7 Shaft roughness R a , μm 0 .. 0,8 Shaft hardness, HB 150 – 600 1) The performance of SKF POM Composite bearings depends on the interaction of load, lubrication, surface roughness, sliding velocity, and temperature encountered in specific applications.
