About the PCM 161806.5 E Bushing, 16x18x6.5mm PTFE
PCM 161806.5 E is an SKF straight (cylindrical) plain bushing from the PCM … E range of composite plain bearings. The designation encodes the principal dimensions — 16 mm bore, 18 mm outside diameter and 6.5 mm length — with the E suffix identifying SKF’s PTFE composite sliding material. Bushings of this series are thin-walled, maintenance-free sliding bearings intended for arrangements that carry radial load, and are suited to slow rotational, oscillating and linear movements; they require no initial lubrication and, despite the thin-walled design, can accommodate comparatively heavy loads while providing good heat dissipation. The catalogue name additionally lists load figures of 7.8/24.5 kN for this size. PTFE composite bushings are a standard substitution for rolling bearings where space is limited and motion is intermittent or oscillating rather than continuously rotating.
