PAF 12170 P14 PERMAGLIDE Sliding Bushing

PAF 12170 P14 PERMAGLIDE Sliding Bushing

PAF 12170 P14 PERMAGLIDE is a composite sliding bushing designed for maintenance free operation in industrial machinery, providing low friction performance and high wear resistance without the need for lubrication.

Within the category of Permaglide bushings, this model belongs to advanced dry sliding bearings engineered for applications where lubrication is limited or not possible. PERMAGLIDE technology is based on a multilayer structure that ensures stable performance under load, even in demanding operating environments.

The PAF 12170 P14 PERMAGLIDE bushing 12x17x7 mm is commonly searched using technical queries such as PAF 12170 bushing, Permaglide P14 bearing, dry sliding bearing 12x17x7, or maintenance free bushing 12 mm. These long tail queries are typical in machine design, maintenance operations and replacement of worn sliding elements in industrial systems.

The P14 material designation refers to a dry running sliding layer optimized for low friction and high durability. This allows the bushing to operate reliably without additional lubrication, reducing maintenance requirements and simplifying system design.

In modern industrial applications Permaglide bushings are widely used as an alternative to rolling bearings in systems with oscillating motion, high loads or environments where contamination and lack of lubrication are critical factors.

Construction and Design

The PAF 12170 P14 PERMAGLIDE bushing features a multilayer composite structure designed for durability and efficient sliding performance.

The construction includes:

steel backing layer for structural strength
porous bronze intermediate layer
P14 sliding layer optimized for dry operation

This structure ensures proper load distribution, low friction and resistance to wear even under continuous operation.

The absence of rolling elements makes the bushing resistant to shock loads and contamination, which is particularly important in industrial environments.

Industrial Applications
