IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIRCULAR & RECTANGULAR PTFE SLIDE BEARINGS?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 04/02/2008 - 17:03.
Neither shape offers any great benefit, but a square, rather than circular, shape can be more economic as there is less scrap when cutting from a square sheet.
The key factor is to ensure adequate surface contact area. Please refer to our catalogue for guidance on allowable bearing pressure, and take account of ambient temperatures since these will also affect the allowable bearing pressure.
