Oiles Drymet (DU-type metal-polymer)
Oiles Drymet (DU-type metal-polymer) is part of the Oiles range of multi-material self-lubricating / maintenance-free plain bearings — metal-polymer composites, oil-impregnated and solid-lubricant-embedded metals (bronze/steel), special engineering resins, and self-lubricating slide/wear plates for structural and die applications. Closest to a low-friction metal-polymer composite bushing rather than a sintered part — functionally the dry-running counterpart to Bushingo BP25 where oil-free operation is required. As a maintenance-free wrapped composite it also overlaps the self-lubricating principle of Metagliss in bush form, and cross-references directly to competitor DU-type ranges (e.g. GGB DU, SKF PCM/PAP-P). Where a buyer currently specifies Oiles Drymet, quote the equivalent Bushingo dry composite bush by bore, wall and flange geometry.
Specification
| Brand | Oiles |
|---|---|
| Series | Oiles Drymet (DU-type metal-polymer) |
| Material | Composite construction: steel backing, sintered bronze interlayer, and a PTFE-based self-lubricating overlay. Runs dry (no external lubrication) and tolerates marginal or boundary lubrication. |
| Forms | cylindrical (wrapped) bush, flanged bush, thrust washer, strip / blank for custom parts |
| Typical size range | As a general characteristic of this composite bushing class, typical bores range from a few millimetres up to roughly 100 mm+, with thin, standardised wall sections; suited to high load capacity at low-to-moderate sliding speeds. Exact sizes and ratings are confirmed per RFQ. |
Key features
- Maintenance-free dry running; no lubrication service required over life
- Very thin wall for compact, drop-in housing designs
- High static and dynamic load capacity relative to size
- Good performance in oscillating and intermittent motion
- Wide operating temperature window typical of PTFE-lined composites
Typical applications
- Automotive chassis, pedal, and linkage pivots
- Construction and agricultural machinery joints
- Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder components
- General machine linkages and hinges
- Office and domestic equipment mechanisms
