Elringplast Friction Bearing |
Advantages
- Low friction coefficient and high wear resistance
- Usage temperature from -100°C to +250°C
- Very good resistance to chemicals
- No degradation of shape or strength due to moisture
- No outgassing in vacuum
- Stable under oxidation and aging
- Low-cost due to simple bearing design and elimination of lubrica¬tion devices
- No contamination due to dripping lubricants
- Non-flammable; LOI >95

Elringplast is a general term for self-lubricating, low-friction bearing materials based on PTFE. Elringplast friction bearings are an alternative for all applications where classical lubricants, such as oil and greases, are not available. Elringplast is available in three material variants, thus covering a wide range of applications.
