Tufnol® materials are widely used where tough, wear resistant components are needed. They give good service under a very wide range of operating conditions, including continuous temperatures from cryogenic levels to well over 100°C and in a wide variety of situations where resistance to corrosion is needed.
Though Tufnol® materials are used dry in a great many less demanding wear applications, Tufnol® is generally self-lubricating, and it is preferable to use a lubricant to develop their full bearing potential. Properly designed and lubricated, Tufnol bearings give excellent service for many years and are frequently a cost-effective solution.
Tufnol® is available in various grades as below:
