SKF / INA PermaGlide PAP (P10)
SKF / INA PermaGlide PAP (P10) is part of the SKF / INA PermaGlide range of metal-polymer composite plain bearings (steel-backed, sintered-bronze interlayer, ptfe or pom sliding layer). Closest Bushingo technology twin is Metagliss (self-lubricating PTFE-composite friction material) — both are dry-running, maintenance-free composites. In bush form, buyers replacing PAP P10 bushes most often cross-shop Bushingo BP25 oil-impregnated sintered-bronze bushes for an equivalent bore/OD self-lubricating bush, noting BP25 uses porous bronze + oil rather than a metal-polymer/PTFE layer. FP20 sintered iron is the lighter-duty, lower-cost alternative and SO16 the sintered-alloy option.
Specification
| Brand | SKF / INA PermaGlide |
|---|---|
| Series | SKF / INA PermaGlide PAP (P10) |
| Material | Steel backing, sintered porous-bronze interlayer and a PTFE-based sliding layer with fillers; dry-running and maintenance-free (also suits marginal / lifetime lubrication). Metal-polymer composite. |
| Forms | Wrapped cylindrical bush |
| Typical size range | Typically bore diameters from roughly 3 mm up to around 100 mm (larger sizes available), with thin walls generally below ~3 mm — general guidance only, exact ranges confirmed on request. |
Key features
- Maintenance-free dry running — no external lubrication required over bearing life in many applications
- Low, stable coefficient of friction from the PTFE-based sliding layer, with good stick-slip resistance
- Steel/bronze substrate gives high static and dynamic load capacity in a thin, compact wall
- Well suited to oscillating and slow-rotating motion and where lubrication is impractical
- Wide operating temperature window and a corrosion-tolerant polymer running face
Typical applications
- Automotive chassis, steering, seat, pedal and door/hinge pivots
- Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders (piston and rod guides)
- Agricultural and construction machinery joints and linkages
- Textile, packaging and general industrial machinery
- Shock absorbers and suspension components
