CBP sliding bushings, bimetal bearings, sliding thrust washers and sliding guides are inserted in all rotating or linear systems, in the fields of movement and guidance transmission.

Their most common installations are in:

• combustion engines (engine bearings and connecting rods bearings, notably for industrial vehicles, lorries, construction equipment or agricultural vehicles and railways materials),
• piston pumps,
• compressors,
• differential and gear boxes,
• all other connecting rods and crank shaft movement systems able to support heavy charges,
• valves for the guiding of shutters in large industrial installations,
• guidance of mobile parts (as in presses, rotary presses for printing, looms ...)
• automatisms (machine tools, for example)

Apart from the steel or bronze supports, the stainless steel support of the PYDANE ® (stainless steel PTFE bushings) offers a perfect security against corrosion in aggressive environments, in particular in the medical, maritime, chemical or agricultural fields with, in addition, a selflubricating property given by the PTFE layer.

CBP antifriction bearings are thus adapted to all mechanical systems requiring a perfect guidance, a limited sliding effort and a high resistance. These characteristics are obtained by :

• the specifically studied shape of each part,
• adapted antifriction coatings,
• and precision of manufacturaring.
