Plastic sliding bushing
Product solutions and variants from OMC and GMC

In the field of plastic slide bushings, ttv offers you variants made of oil-impregnated nylon material as well as the reinforced nylon material GMC. Both plastic slide bushings have their different advantages, especially in the area of friction coefficients.

Description Plastic sliding bushings

Plastic sliding bushing TTV-OMC

OMC is an oil-impregnated nylon material. It is a high-strength and self-lubricating plastic made from a nylon monomer and which stores lubricant as a result of a catalysing polymerization reaction.

OMC is popular in hydroelectricity technology, metallurgical machinery, rubber roller machinery and vulcanisation machinery.

Plastic sliding bushing TTV-GMC

GMC is a reinforced nylon material. It is filled with fibreglass, which gives it impressively high levels of stability and rigidity along with low stick-slip.

This material is commonly used in the mining industry, in shipyards and in the paper manufacturing industry.

Production of plastic sliding bushings

Plastic sliding bushings are mainly manufactured by injection molding from high-performance plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). After injection molding, post-processing is often carried out in order to achieve precise tolerances and surface qualities. Individual productions and custom-made products are possible in order to meet special customer requirements.

High quality

To ensure the high quality of our plastic sliding bushings, we use high-quality raw materials and strictly monitor the entire production process. Regular material tests and machine inspections are crucial. Precise manufacturing tolerances and a homogeneous material structure, as well as the application advice offered by ttv, ensure optimum performance and durability. 

Mounting the plastic sliding bushings

The installation of plastic sliding bushings is simple. At the same time, mounting is often a common factor in handling damage. Sliding bushings must not be hammered into the housing. The bearings are pressed into the intended housings or bores using an appropriate press-in mandrel.

It is essential that the mounting surface is clean and free from contamination to ensure optimum fit and function. Bearings with a larger diameter can be cooled using liquid nitrogen and then placed in the bore.

Advantages of our plastic sliding bushings

Plastic sliding bushings offer excellent sliding properties, high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. corrosion resistance. They often require no additional lubrication and can be used in many aggressive environments in which metal bearings are not suitable.

When used outdoors, the UV resistance of the respective material must be taken into account. In addition, there are further advantages in terms of design flexibility. In addition to collars and cylindrical as well as thrust washers and sliding plates, any special shape that can be formed from a two-part tool can also be implemented.

Frequently asked questions

How can you recognize high-quality plastic sliding bushings?

High-quality plastic sliding bushings can be recognized by their precise processing, uniform material structure and excellent compliance with manufacturing tolerances. They are usually made from high-quality plastics such as PA, POM, PTFE or PEEK. Compositions with other additives and fillers - such as aramid - can also be used to optimally meet the requirements.

What quantities of plastic sliding bushings can be produced and supplied?

Both small batches of just a few units and large batches of several thousand units can be thousand units can be produced and delivered. Production is flexibly adaptable. For special dimensions, it may be necessary to invest in an appropriate tool, However, tool customization costs are usually necessary.

Can the plastic sliding bushings also be supplied abroad?

Yes, our plastic sliding bushings can be delivered worldwide. All necessary export formalities and logistics processes are taken into account.

Which plastics are used?

High-performance plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are used for production, each of which offers specific properties for different applications.

Do ttv also have plastic bearing bushes?

Yes, ttv also offers plastic bearing bushes. These are available in various dimensions and designs and can be manufactured individually on request.

Are the plastic sliding bushings resistant to chemicals?

Many of the plastics used, particularly PEEK and PTFE, are resistant to chemicals and are suitable for use in aggressive environments. However, the resistance depends on the specific plastic and the chemical in question.

Can the plastic sliding bushings also be used under water?

Yes, many plastic sliding bushings, especially those made of PA and PEEK, are suitable for use under water. They are corrosion-resistant and retain their sliding properties even when permanent exposure to water.
