SKF POM Composite Dry Sliding Strips: SKF composite dry sliding strips provide a cost-effective and space-saving solution when designing and forming flat linear guides. Both, PTFE and POM composite strips are suitable where oscillating and rotational movement can occur. SKF POM composite strips have pockets in the sliding surface, which serve as grease reservoirs and should be filled with grease prior to installation. This makes these strips suitable for applications that require minimal maintenance under difficult operating conditions, for example in contaminated environments where lubricant cannot be supplied continuously or frequently. Despite their compact design, POM composite strips can accommodate heavy loads and are less sensitive to misalignment. They are suitable for slow rotational or oscillating movements.
POM composite strips consist of a sheet steel backing on which a 0.2 to 0.4 mm thick layer of tin/bronze is sintered. The principal characteristic of these strips is their relatively thick (0.3 mm) covering layer of acetal resin (POM – polyoxymethylene) with additives. This covering layer has pockets to retain grease and is firmly attached to the sintered tin/bronze layer.
