 Premium DUB Sliding Plates & Strips: Engineered for Extreme Environments & Anti-Magnetic Performance

Maximize the operational lifespan of your heavy-duty machinery with our precision-engineered DUB Sliding Plates and Strips. While standard steel-backed plates are susceptible to corrosion and magnetic interference, our DUB series features a 100% Bronze Backing. This maintenance-free material provides a high-strength, wear-resistant interface that maintains dimensional stability in high-temperature environments where traditional lubrication fails.


Why Choose DUB Bronze-Backed Plates?

The primary advantage of the DUB series is the combination of Superior Corrosion Resistance and Anti-Magnetic Properties. By utilizing a high-grade bronze foundation instead of carbon steel, these sliding plates offer:

  • Exceptional Environmental Resistance: The bronze backing provides significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to standard SBU (steel-backed) bearings, making it ideal for wet or chemically aggressive settings.
  • Maintenance-Free Dry Running: Engineered for dry operation with a remarkably low coefficient of friction and superior sliding characteristics.
  • High-Temperature Reliability: Particularly appropriate for high-temperature environments where oil lubrication is inefficient or impossible.
  • Shaft Protection Technology: During initial operation, a transfer film is created that coats and protects the mating metal surface with a solid lubricant layer.

Advanced Triple-Layer Material Structure

The DUB material stack is engineered through a sophisticated sintering process to ensure high safety factors and long-life performance:

  1. PTFE/Fibre Mixture (0.01~0.03mm): Provides an excellent initial transfer film that effectively coats mating surfaces, forming an oxide-type solid lubricant film.
  2. Sintered Bronze Powder (0.20-0.35mm): Delivers maximum thermal conductivity away from the bearing surface and acts as a critical reservoir for the PTFE/Fibre mixture.
  3. Bronze Backing: Provides exceptionally high load-carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation, and essential anti-magnetic properties for specialized industrial use.
