MR-5 Self-Lubricated Bearings
The MR-5 trademark identifies a range of bearings composed material of compounded polytetrafluoroethylene tape on a supporting shell of low-carbon steel. The tape of PTFE contains carbon and graphite, that give at the material self lubricating, isolates noise and is designed for obtain self lubricated bearings without play.
The MR-5 bearing series comes in two versions:
- Version E: with a high surface conductivity PTFE sliding layer
- Version D: with a non-conductive PTFE sliding layer
MR-5 bearings are characterized by the use of low-carbon steel (DC04) as the supporting shell.
The available products are cylindrical and flanged bearings, washers, belts and cast-to-size parts with thickness standard is from 0,500 / 0,750 and 1,000 mm.

Structure of the composite material
Layer | Average analyses of the material | Thickness of layer |
---|---|---|
Sliding layer | PTFE Modified | 0,150 ÷ 0,170 mm |
Supporting shell | DC 04 (EN 10139)
|
0,250 ÷ 0,750 mm (Depending on final thickness required) |
Protective layer | Sn or Zn (as per customer requirement) | > 1 μm |
Characteristics
- Thick sliding layer with uniformly distributed solid lubricants
- Good calibration/sizing assembly (zero-clearance)
- High surface conductivity with E version PTFE, not-conductive D version PTFE available with notches/dimples, to prevent paint bridge issues, 1Ω volume conductance can be achieved with proper surface contact
- With right fit, uniform torque can be achieved at the required value
- Thick PTFE layer helps in edge loading
