SF-1 is wall wrapped bushing made of triple layer composites material which be consisted of a steel backing, a sintered porous bronze particles interlayer and calendared with PTFE and mixture as surface layer, It is of low friction coefficient, anti-wear, anti-corrosion and can be used without oil, or only a trace of oil if needed. Moreover, it is of low cost, low vibration and low noise, compacted and light, SF-1 is widely applied in various sliding articles of different kind of machines, such as textile machines, tobacoo machines, hydraulic vechicles, antomobiles, agriculture and forests machinese and soon.
