SAE Felts

These materials are non-raveling and most can be fabricated by die cutting, stripping, skiving, laminating, coating, impregnating, stitching, stapling, perforating, cementing, machining, grinding, drilling, molding, shaping and extruding.

Recommended Uses

SAE F-1 is suitable for oil retention in installations where the felt is not compressed, for feeding low viscosity or light oil, and where unusual strength and hardness are required. Washers, bushings, wicks, door bumpers, polishing blocks, and parts where wear and resistance to abrasion are required, are typical uses.

SAE F-2 & F-3 are recommended for vibration mountings and the same general purposes as SAE F-1 and where a felt of slightly lower quality is satisfactory.

SAE F-5, F-6 & F-7 are recommended for dust shields, wipers, grease retainer washers, wicks, vibration mountings, and in uses where a resilient felt is required.

SAE F-10, F-11 & F-12 are recommended for grease and oil retention where the felt is confined and compressed in assembly. Also recommended for dust shields under less severe operating conditions where F-5, F-6 & F-7 are not required.
