Bushings are Teflon coated allowing for high vertical loads. Shafting is an aluminum shaft encased in a thin ceramic coating that is accurately machined into our extruded base. This combination of Teflon and ceramic gives a unique low-friction sliding element while reducing cost significantly. These elements require no lubrication and in most applications are considered maintenance free. |
