SKF friction bushings of the PBM M1G1 series are thin-walled cylindrical bushings made of a PTFE and bronze composite material, designed to withstand radial loads in rotary and oscillating movements. They are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment to reduce friction and wear between metal surfaces, eliminating the need for additional lubrication. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its catalog of power transmission and industrial maintenance components.
The designation of the PBM M1G1 series is interpreted as follows: the letters PBM identify the SKF friction bushing category; the numbers that follow indicate the main dimensions, such as bore diameter, outside diameter and length, coded in millimeters. The suffix M1G1 specifies the material composition and the type of construction, with a PTFE layer on a sintered bronze base. For example, the code PBM 202820 M1G1 corresponds to a bushing with standardized dimensions, while PBM 506050 M1G1 has a different geometry. To select the correct bushing, it is essential to verify the actual housing and shaft dimensions.
These bushings are used in industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical, automotive and machine tool, among others. In Argentina, they are common in packaging equipment, conveyor belts, pumps, valves, presses and lifting systems. Their ability to work without lubrication makes them ideal for applications where maintenance access is limited or where cleanliness is critical. They are also used in sectors such as agriculture, in seeders and harvesters, and in the plastics industry, in injection molding and extrusion machines.
For correct selection, radial load, sliding speed, operating temperature and type of movement (rotary, oscillating or linear) must be considered. It is important to verify the housing and shaft tolerance; generally, an interference fit in the housing and a sliding fit on the shaft are recommended. Mounting must be done carefully so as not to damage the PTFE layer. Alignment between shaft and housing is crucial to avoid side loads. In applications with high contamination, additional seals may be required. Lubrication is not necessary, but in very dirty environments a layer of compatible grease can be applied to facilitate mounting.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF bushings of the PBM M1G1 series can replace other friction bushings from brands such as GGB, Igus or Federal Mogul, provided the dimensions and material are compatible. It is essential to compare the technical specifications, such as allowable load and maximum operating temperature, to ensure equivalent performance. Not all bushings are directly interchangeable; the bore, outside diameter and length must be verified, as well as the type of material. Consult our technical team to evaluate the best option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix M1G1 mean in SKF PBM bushings?
- The suffix M1G1 indicates the material composition: a PTFE layer on a sintered bronze base, which provides low friction and high wear resistance. It is important for applications without lubrication.
- Do these bushings require lubrication?
- No, SKF PBM M1G1 bushings are designed to work without additional lubrication. However, in highly contaminated environments a layer of compatible grease can be applied to facilitate mounting and extend service life.
- How do I select the right bushing for my application?
- You must consider radial load, speed, temperature and type of movement. Verify the shaft and housing dimensions, and consult our technical team to ensure compatibility.
