PAF 16170 P10 PERMAGLIDE - Flanged Plain Bearing 16x18x17 mm

Technical specifications and construction

The PAF 16170 P10 PERMAGLIDE is a flanged plain bearing with dimensions 16 mm (inner) x 18 mm (outer) x 17 mm (width).
It is built with a steel backing and a PTFE-based sliding layer (material P10), ensuring high wear resistance, low friction, and long service life under both static and dynamic loads.
The P10 material has excellent dimensional stability, minimal swelling (<0.01 mm), and operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -200 °C to +280 °C.
Thanks to its flanged design, the bearing allows precise installation and secure positioning within the housing, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial and automation systems.

Industrial applications and key advantages

The PERMAGLIDE PAF 16170 P10 bearing is commonly used in automation systems, hydraulic components, packaging machinery, guiding mechanisms, and industrial linkages where low friction and maintenance-free operation are crucial.
Popular search phrases in Poland include “tuleja ślizgowa 16x18x17”, “PAF 16170 P10”, and “PERMAGLIDE P10 flanged bushing”, reflecting strong demand for this specific size and material.
Its dry-running capability significantly reduces lubrication costs, while the PTFE layer provides smooth movement and reduced noise.
For maintenance and production departments, this bearing offers reliability, efficiency, and reduced downtime — key benefits in industrial B2B environments.

Installation and operational guidelines

For best performance, install the PAF 16170 P10 bearing into a clean, properly machined housing with correct fit tolerances.
The P10 composite is suitable for dry or lightly lubricated operation.
In high-load or vibration conditions, light lubrication with a PTFE-compatible grease can further extend its service life.
Its flanged structure simplifies installation and enhances axial positioning, while the PTFE layer minimizes wear on mating components.
