Duralon® Actuator Nuts and Helical Bearing Product Overview

     

Bearing Construction

The bearing consists of a self-lubricating woven Teflon® fiber and polyester liner supported by a filament wound continuous fiberglass fiber and epoxy resin matrix.

Size range

Consult a Rexnord engineer.

Bore shapes

Helical hex and threaded.

Load Capacity

Consult a Rexnord engineer.

Motion

The bearings convert linear motion to rotary motion and rotary motion to linear motion.

Friction

Duralon® bearings offer low-friction operation. Friction decreases with increasing load. Friction coefficients vary from .16 @500 psi to .07 @ 20,000 psi.

Self-lubricated

The bearing operates self-lubricated by Teflon® transfer to the shaft surface caused by relative movement between the shaft and bearing liner under load. Lubrication can be used if desired. Consult a Rexnord engineer for approved lubricants.

Electrical Properties

The Duralon® back-up material is an electrical insulator. Its dielectric strength is about 300 volts per mil. Since the back-up material is electrically non-conducting, electrolytic or galvanic action will not take place between it and the housing or the shaft.

Chemical Properties

Duralon® materials are typically resistant to most chemicals. Due to the wide range of exposures, specific conditions must be checked. Consult a Rexnord engineer for specific chemicals.

(4) Comparative values of the coefficient of expansion for the filament wound back-up material, aluminum and steel are given in table 2. The similarity between steel and Duralon in the hoop direction should be noted. A higher value for thermal expansion is realized in the axial direction because of the fiberglass filament orientation.
