Characteristics

• Good thermal and electrical conductivity depending on the contact surface
• Negligible water absorption
• Good sizing/calibration properties
• Good corrosion resistance to aggressive media

Characteristics specific to woven metal mesh bearings:

• Higher corrosion resistance can be achieved with stainless steel version (MR-2)
• Tailored-made torque values can be achieved to eliminate play

Characteristics specific to expanded metal mesh bearings:

• Due to the expanded structure, higher quantity of PTFE can be embedded
• Higher corrosion resistance versions (up to 1000 hours Stainless steel Test) available are: MR-4, MR-6X and MR-7
• More cost efficient solutions available are steel (MR-6)
• Best material combination to match hinge material, preventing the risk of bimetallic corrosion
