The Dixon M-Liners from Saint Gobain have become very difficult to obtain since they come from overseas. Tri Star is now offering a size for size equivalent product in it’s Tri Steel product line called Tri Steel PE. This product is a rolled steel backed polymer lined bearing. The polymer liner is a special PEEK/PTFE combination that has a thicker dimension  than normal steel backed bearings. This allows for post machining of the ID to tighter tolerances without removing the primary bearing source. Learn more from Tri Star’s website www.tstar.com and review the information on Tri Steel Bearings or watch our Tri Steel video on the Video Learning Center.

New TriSteel PE material utilizes the outstanding wear properties of PEEK, combined with the PTFE low friction additive, make this product unique in thin wall metal backed products. The PEEK liner has excellent resistance to chemicals and when combined with a stainless steel shell material it is perfect for applications in chemical pumps, valves or environments where temperature is critical. TriStar’s TriSteel PE bearing is available in inch and metric sizes as sleeve, flange and thrust bearings. Ask the Experts or visit www.tstar.com for more information.
