How does Vesconite compare with PTFE, acetal and bronze coated steel strip bearings?

0

Vesconite has much longer wear life, especially in the presence of dirt. Vesconite is better suited to underwater operation, and for speed and dynamic applications. The wear of Vesconite is not limited to a thin superficial wear layer 0.05 to 0.3 mm thick. Once this layer on a metal strip bearing is worn, there is steel to steel contact which results in high wear and possible shaft damage. Vesconite can be machined to any size and shape, as required, as it is available in a wide range of stock shapes in rod, bushing and plate. Vesconite generally is price competitive, especially for larger bearings. Vesconite has lower heat transmission and is generally not suited to applications >120C.
