DU Flanged Washers



Premium DU Flanged Washers (SF-1 Series): High-Performance PTFE Lined Steel Solutions

Maximize the efficiency of your mechanical assemblies with our SF-1 Series DU Flanged Washers. Unlike standard homogeneous metal washers that require constant lubrication, our SF-1 composite series is engineered with a sophisticated multi-layer structure. By integrating a low-friction PTFE liner with a high-strength steel backing, these washers solve the common industry challenges of surface galling and high maintenance costs in dry-running applications.


Why Choose SF-1 DU Flanged Washers?

The primary advantage of the SF-1 series is its Self-Lubricating Material Synergism. Through advanced sintering technology, these washers provide:

  • Exceptional Dry Running: Specifically designed for operation without oil, featuring an ultra-low coefficient of friction and minimal wear rate.
  • Superior Surface Protection: During the initial break-in period, the washer creates a transfer film that coats the mating metal surface, forming an oxide-type solid lubricant film to prevent shaft damage.
  • Dimensional Stability: Exhibits high chemical resistance and significantly lower water absorption compared to nylon or plastic alternatives, preventing swelling in humid or submerged environments.

Advanced Four-Layer Composite Engineering

Our DU flanged washers utilize a precision-bonded structure to ensure high load-carrying capacity and thermal efficiency:

  1. PTFE/Fibre Overlay (0.01 ~0.03mm): Provides the essential initial transfer film for smooth, maintenance-free sliding.
  2. Sintered Bronze Interlayer (0.20 ~0.35mm): Acts as a high-strength reservoir for the PTFE mixture and provides maximum thermal conductivity to dissipate heat.
  3. Low-Carbon Steel Backing: The structural core that delivers exceptionally high static and dynamic load-carrying capacity.
  4. Copper/Tin Plating (0.002mm): A specialized exterior treatment that ensures excellent corrosion resistance for the entire component.

Typical Applications

The SF-1 material is the global standard for "trouble-free" performance across diverse industries:

  • Automotive & Heavy Duty: Power steering cylinders, disc brake calipers, shock absorbers, and agricultural machinery like tractors and combines.
  • Hydraulics & Fluid Power: Gear pumps, axial piston pumps, butterfly valves, and valve trunnions.
  • Business Automation: High-cycle components for photocopy machines, computer printers, and mail processing systems.
  • Home Appliances: Precision movement in air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and sewing machines.
