SF-1S thrust washer



 Premium SF-1S Thrust Washers: Engineered for Corrosion Resistance & Maintenance-Free Performance

Maximize the reliability of your specialized equipment with our SF-1S Stainless Steel Backed Thrust Washers. In demanding chemical, marine, or food-processing environments, standard carbon steel components are often compromised by rust and contamination. Our precision-layered washers solve this by combining the high strength of Stainless Steel (SUS304/316/440) with a self-lubricating PTFE/Fibre liner, providing a maintenance-free, acid-resistant interface that excels where lubrication is impossible or unwanted.


Why Choose SF-1S Thrust Washers?

The primary purpose of utilizing a multi-layered composite structure is to achieve Dry-Running Capability and Maximum Chemical Stability. Through advanced sintering and bonding processes, our thrust washers provide:

  • Exceptional Dry Performance: Designed for dry running with a low coefficient of friction and superior sliding characteristics.
  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: The stainless steel backing withstands strong acid, alkali, and seawater environments.
  • Optimized Surface Protection: A unique PTFE/Fibre transfer film coats mating surfaces, creating an oxide-type solid lubricant film to minimize wear.

Strategic Multi-Layer Structure

We utilize a triple-layer engineering approach to ensure dimensional stability and thermal efficiency in every washer:

  1. PTFE/Fibre Mixture (0.01 ~0.03mm): Provides the initial lubricant film for smooth rotary and oscillating movements.
  2. Sintered Bronze Powder (0.20~0.35mm): Offers maximum thermal conductivity and acts as a reservoir for the PTFE mixture.
  3. Stainless Steel Backing (SUS304, 316, 440): Provides the structural rigidity and essential rust protection for harsh operations.

Typical Applications

Our SF-1S thrust washers are the backbone of high-precision equipment in sensitive industries, including:

  • Food & Pharmaceutical: Lead-free surface layers ideal for food machinery and pharmaceutical processing.
  • Marine & Offshore: Seawater-resistant components for ocean industry valves and pumps.
  • Chemical & Pumping: Acid-resistant seals for flow meters and chemical engineering machinery.
  • Precision Printing: Maintenance-free motion elements for high-cycle printing machines.
