16K Metric Bearing Band Strips
16K - Product Data
The 16K Metric Bearing
Band Strips are the solution
to costly cylinder re-machining
and repairs for large diameter
equipment. The bearing
material is made from a
thermoset polyester resin
reinforced with synthetic fabric
specifically designed to support
heavy loads. The exceptional
physical properties and built-in
PTFE lubricants make it suitable
for use on rams or pistons in
reciprocating applications.
Features & Benefits:
■ Prevent metal to metal
scoring and prolong
equipment life.
■ Reduce radial movement
on both rams and pistons
therefore extending seal life.
■ Built-in lubricant allows for
lower coefficient of friction
between mating surfaces.
■ Retrofit existing bearing
grooves and eliminate
unnecessary modifications.
■ Available in common sizes
which minimizes inventory
costs.
■ Cut to size from coil and
accommodate equipment
over 300 mm in diameter.
