SELFOIL®: self-lubricating sintered bushings

SELFOIL® is a recognised brand of self-lubricating sintered bushings, manufactured from porous materials such as bronze or iron and impregnated with lubricating oil. This technology provides constant lubrication between the bushing and the shaft, removing the need for additional lubrication and considerably reducing maintenance.

Advantages of SELFOIL® bushings

In addition to the wide range of standard bushings, SELFOIL® offers solid and hollow bars in self-lubricating sintered material, available in various dimensions. These bars can be supplied in full length for machining by the customer or machined to drawing, which makes it possible to produce bushings and special components when the required dimensions do not match the standard references. After machining, the parts can be re-impregnated in order to maintain their self-lubricating properties.

SELFOIL® has a wide range of more than 1,600 standard references available in permanent stock, which ensures immediate delivery.
