Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...

Conventional compressor bearings - for example, leaded-bronze, rolling element or bi-metal bushings - will be significantly affected by wear in marginally lubricated environments at bearing locations ...
