Sliding Bearing Liner
Used as a liner in medium-load sliding bearings and structure transport. Grease held in the dimples keeps feeding, cutting friction and wear sharply.

Product image
A low-friction sliding sheet whose face is machined with a recessed dimple pattern to cut friction and vibration. Each dimple acts as a reservoir for grease or oil, feeding lubricant while the part slides, and only the flat land between dimples touches, which sharply reduces real contact area. The material is a low-friction PTFE or PTFE-with-graphite grade.
The table below describes a standard SKU. Every line is made to order against your drawing, load case and friction requirement. Ask us about special temperature or chemical duty.

Dimples machined into unfilled PTFE sheet. Lowest friction (μ 0.04), for precise, lightly loaded sliding parts. Chemical and medical grades available.
Graphite improves wear resistance and heat transfer. The standard grade for industrial sliding bearings and structure transport liners.
Used as a liner in medium-load sliding bearings and structure transport. Grease held in the dimples keeps feeding, cutting friction and wear sharply.
Eases stick-slip at sliding contacts on machinery. Less contact area, plus the cushioning of grease in the dimples, brings down vibration and noise.
Heavily loaded moving parts on plant, presses and machining lines. Contact damage is held down and regreasing intervals stretch, so maintenance eases.
