APW 21748900 Bearing 1-1/8" ID PTFE

The APW 21748900 Bearing 1-1/8" ID PTFE sleeve bearing is made to support rotating shafts with a minimum of friction and heat transfer. It is also commonly used in commercial catering and food-processing equipment machines, where metal-to-metal contact would rapidly wear them. The bearing is positioned between a rotating shaft and its case, and it offers low-friction motion, keeps the shaft straight, and prevents the abrasion of the surrounding parts. In the appliance, it acts as a passive support component where driven components rotate easily at speed and resist moisture, cleaning chemicals, and high temperatures that are normally experienced during normal operation.
