Premium DU-B Flanged Washers (SF-1B): High-Performance Steel-Backed Self-Lubricating Solutions

Elevate your machinery’s efficiency with our DU-B (SF-1B) Flanged Washers. Engineered for versatile motion, these washers combine the structural strength of low-carbon steel with a high-performance PTFE-bronze sliding surface. While standard bronze washers require constant lubrication to prevent failure, our SF-1B series features a multi-layer composite that creates its own protective transfer film, ensuring maintenance-free operation and exceptional durability in the most demanding environments.


Why Choose DU-B (SF-1B) Flanged Washers?

The primary advantage of our DU-B series lies in its Self-Lubricating Matrix and Thermal Efficiency. By employing a precision sintering process, these flanged washers provide:

  • Dry Running Excellence: Specifically designed for dry operation with a remarkably low coefficient of friction and minimal wear rates.
  • Superior Load & Heat Management: The steel backing provides exceptionally high load-carrying capacity, while the sintered bronze layer ensures maximum thermal conductivity away from the sliding surface.
  • Corrosion & Swelling Resistance: Features a high resistance to chemical interference and significantly lower water absorption compared to traditional materials, preventing mechanical swelling.

Advanced Four-Layer Structural Engineering

The SF-1B series utilizes a sophisticated material stack to deliver consistent performance under pressure:

  1. PTFE/Fibre Overlay (0.01 ~ 0.03mm): Provides an excellent initial transfer film that coats mating surfaces with an oxide-type solid lubricant.
  2. Sintered Bronze Powder (0.20 ~ 0.35mm): Acts as a critical reservoir for the PTFE mixture while maximizing heat dissipation.
  3. Low-Carbon Steel Backing: The structural foundation that grants the washer its high load capacity and mechanical strength.
  4. Copper/Tin Plating (0.002mm): A precision exterior coating that provides essential corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
