F 506

The F 506 bearing strip is designed to provide an extremely effective, hard wearing, and easy-to-use bearing solution for reciprocating, oscillating, and slow rotary movement applications. Manufactured to very tight tolerances, the F 506 is capable of withstanding extreme side loads and preventing metal-to-metal contact between the piston and the bore or the rod and the gland. The F 506 has become the industry standard favoured by designers and specifiers alike in many of today’s most arduous hydraulic applications around the world.

The F 506 is available in three forms: cut bearing rings, spiral lengths, and flat coils. Spiral lengths and flat coils are recommended to customers who want to cut their own custom sizes. Spiral lengths are recommended to distributors or customers who may need to fit a wide range of application sizes in a particular cross section.

The F 506 bearing strip is manufactured by a patented process, using a woven fabric reinforced polyester resin material, and is proven to be compatible with a wide range of fluids including: mineral oils, water-based fluids, and phosphate esters. The construction of the bearing strip incorporates micro-indentations on the surface to trap fluid and provide built-in lubrication to the bearing.
