TX Type
TX-C . TX-316 . TX-400 . TX-625 . TX-F51
The TX code identifies a family of self-lubricating bearings and washers that are specially manufactured with a bonding of a filled PTFE coated fabric (lead free, in accordance to the European Parliament “ELV” directive 2000/53/EC) on various baking metal layers like: carbon steel, bronze, stainless steel and Carbon steel S235 JR. The sliding surface is primarily composed of a filled PTFE coated fabric and other elements to guarantee the highest wear resistance. The TX products find their best usage in slow-moving applications.
With heavy loads. In dry operating conditions. Thanks to the thick self-lubricating layer up to 0.40 mm, this product has a high wear resistance and can work in dirty or abrasive environment.
For the TX type it is not recommended the use of oil, while the use of special greases such as silicon or lithium soap, is only possible during the assembly.
