SAE F-1 Pressed Felt SAE F-1 is a hard-density white wool felt. It is suitable for oil retention where the felt is not compressed, for feeding low viscosity or light oil, and where unusual strength and hardness are required. Typical uses include washers, bushings wicks, door bumpers, polishing blocks, and parts where wear resistance to abrasion are required.
|
SAE F-3 Pressed felt SAE F-3 is a grey high-grade felt of slightly less density and durability than SAE F-1, but still recommended for precision uses such as: vibration mounts; precision lubrication wicking; oil seals; bumpers; gaskets; automobile, aircraft, and machinery components.
|
SAE F-5 Pressed Felt SAE F-5 is a white high-grade felt of medium density recommended for precision uses where resiliency and durability are important factors. Typical uses include: lubrication wicks, grease seals, wipers, shock dampers, and dust seals.
|
SAE F-7 Pressed Felt SAE F-7 is a grey medium-density felt similar to SAE F-5 and recommended for similar applications, but where slightly less durable material is permissible. These felts are commonly used for grease retainers, spacer strip seals, weather stripping, dust shields, and noise reduction linings.
|
SAE F-10 Pressed Felt SAE F-10 is a a white, high-grade, medium-to-low density felt, similar in quality to the SAE F-5, but recommended for uses where abrasion and wear are not important factors. This felt is used for fluid storage and delivery where the felt is confined and compressed in assembly, as well as resilient padding and plug filters for gas and air.
|
SAE F-13 Pressed Felt SAE F-13 is a grey low-density felt with a wide range of uses where resistance to abrasion, durability and wear are not important requirements. Typical uses include: spacing strips; sound deadening; fuel oil filters; anti-rattle applications; and grease and oil retention.
|
SAE F-15 Needled Felt SAE F-15N is a grey low-density needle-punched felt recommended for non-mechanical applications when retained between other materials. It is often used for packaging, crating, and lining applications, where a lower grade felt is acceptable.
|
SAE F-50 Pressed Felt SAE F-50 is a white, high-grade, high density felt similar to SAE F-1, but made in thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for mechanical applications where an accurate, thin, smooth, high grade felt is required. Typical uses include ball and roller bearing oil retainer washers and small dust excluding washers.
|
SAE F-51 Pressed Felt SAE F-51 is a a high grade, high density felt similar to SAE F-3, but made in thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for the same applications as SAE F-50, but where tolerances and lengths of life are not as important. Typical uses are thin-cut parts such as gaskets and liners.
|
SAE F-55G Pressed Felt SAE F-55G is a grey medium-to-low density felt similar to SAE F-7, but made in thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for uses where high durability is not required, such as anti-squeak strips and sound deadening when glued to panels.
|
SAE F-55B Pressed Felt SAE F-55B is a black medium-to-low density felt similar to SAE F-7, but made in thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for uses where high durability is not required, such as anti-squeak strips and sound deadening when glued to panels.
