Characteristics
Fritex-B Structure combines in the best way the mechanical strength and the chemical resistance of bronze, and PTFE low friction characteristics. The performance given without lubricants are the following:
| ·Working surface acceptable specific static pressure until 200 N/mm2 |
| ·Working surface acceptable specific dynamic pressure until 150 N/mm2 |
| ·Maximum sliding speed: 1,5 m/s (300 fpm) |
| ·Working temperature from: -100°C to +260° C (-148°F to +500°F) |
| ·Friction factor from 0,03 ÷ 0,15 |
| ·High chemical resistance to industrial fluids and gases. We recommend to make previous test for new application / project. |
