PCMF 101209 E SKF - Flanged Plain Bearing, 10x12x9 mm

Applications and Typical Uses

The SKF PCMF 101209 E is a thin-walled flanged plain bearing, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It performs reliably in oscillating, rotary, and linear motions. Ideal for situations requiring precision, durability, and maintenance-free operation — including industrial machinery, automation devices, drive systems, and moving components. The PTFE-coated steel construction allows it to handle both radial and axial loads (in one direction), providing consistent performance in heavy-duty industrial environments.

Advantages and Key Features

• Compact, thin-walled design: 10 mm inner diameter, 12 mm outer diameter, 9 mm width, 18 mm flange diameter.

• PTFE + steel material ensures low friction, high wear resistance, and suitability for high-speed sliding applications.

• High load capacity: supports both dynamic and static loads in industrial settings.

• Maintenance-free operation: self-lubricating PTFE layer reduces maintenance and downtime.

• Wide temperature range: works from -200 °C to +250 °C, suitable for extreme industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Main Description

The SKF PCMF 101209 E plain bearing is designed for demanding industrial applications. Its thin-walled flanged design combines a strong steel core with a self-lubricating PTFE coating. This ensures low friction, high load capacity, and maintenance-free operation — reducing service costs and extending machinery life.

Compact dimensions (12 mm outer diameter, 9 mm width, 18 mm flange) allow easy installation in bearing housings while maintaining stability. The PTFE surface provides excellent performance in oscillating, rotary, and linear motions and handles radial and axial loads reliably. The bearing is widely used in industrial machines, drive mechanisms, automation equipment, conveyors, actuators, and any moving assembly.

Its self-lubricating PTFE layer allows maintenance-free operation under normal conditions, with optional periodic lubrication for high-load applications. The bearing is resistant to extreme temperatures, from -200 °C to +250 °C, ensuring performance in challenging environments.

Thin-walled construction reduces mass while providing the necessary load capacity for industrial use. Compared to traditional ball bearings, PCMF 101209 E offers self-lubrication, compact installation, and long-lasting reliability. This bearing is ideal for engineers and procurement teams seeking high-precision, durable, and low-maintenance industrial components.
