Delrin Bearing

Delrin bearings are used because of their unique properties, which make them suitable for specific applications. Here are the primary reasons:

  • Low Friction: Delrin (a type of acetal plastic) offers excellent self-lubricating properties, reducing wear and friction without the need for additional lubrication.
  • High Strength and Stiffness: It has high tensile strength and stiffness, making it durable under load.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many solvents, fuels, and chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments.
  • Lightweight: Delrin is much lighter than metal, making it ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Unlike metal bearings, Delrin does not rust or corrode, ensuring longevity in wet or corrosive environments.
  • Dimensional Stability: It maintains its shape and properties over a wide temperature range, making it reliable in varying conditions.
  • Cost-Effective: Typically more affordable than precision metal bearings for many applications.

Common uses include casters, automotive parts, conveyor systems, robotics, and consumer goods.
