Vesconite black sheet plate

vesconite ® is a material specially designed for bearings. The material is often applied in seats and bearing bushes in industrial, agricultural and maritime applications. It is also applied in the mining industry.Vesconite Plastic Products A specialised hard-wearing thermopolymer designed for challenging operating conditions, Vesconite gives up to 10 times the life of traditional bronze or nylon bushings. Combining internal lubrication, a low friction coefficient and low wear rates, Vesconite does not require external lubrication, even where conditions are dry and dirty.

The material is available in rod or tube or sheet Vesconite Tube Sheet

Properties of Vesconite Sheet Rod Bushing
This specially designed material for bearings can be applied in very dirty, dusty and humid conditions. The material is specially designed to rotate without any kind of external lubrication (it is self-lubricating). It has a long service life. The material has a very high pressure resistance, a good wear resistance and low friction. In addition, the material is dimensionally stable and has limited absorption of moisture. This makes it also suitable for applications under water.

Vesconite Rod Sheet Vesconite plates, having a wide range of thicknesses, are popular and versatile for low-friction low-wear slides, wear pads, and bearings. Machined to close tolerances, Vesconite plates enable clients to use the thickness as supplied without expensive operations. Vesconite plates can be used to produce large bearing surfaces economically either by bending plates, as cylindrical bearing inserts or stave type inserts
