SKF Guide and Slide Bushing Set

SKF fork bushing combine the mechanical strength of steel with the low friction of a PTFE-based self-lubricating sliding layer.The intermediate thin bronze layer creates a strong bond between the backing and sliding surfacesand improves the dissipation of heat generated during operation. To protect the bearings from corrosion the steel backing is copper-plated.

The PTFE-based sliding surface permits smooth low-friction operation for a plush riding feeling. During a short run phase there will be some transfer of PTFE material from the sliding contact surface to the counter face. After transfer the characteristic low friction and wear properties of these bushings will be achieved.
