Specification

Metal-backed NORGLIDE® MP with maintained sizing capability but applicable for higher loads.

NORGLIDE® M is a composite material of NORGLIDE® MP bearing tape and steel backing. This combination of material improves load capabilities while maintaining the characteristics of NORGLIDE® MP, especially its sizing capability.

The bearings can be designed without play. Bearings of 1 mm wall thickness or greater can be produced with an interference fit in the housing. Various methods are available to protect the steel shell from corrosion.
