The coefficient of friction between PTFE and metal is a maximum of 0.2, which is 1 / 4 that of rubber. PTFE also has good self-lubricating properties, effectively reducing frictional heat during operation and reducing torque.

[0026] The outer support frame 1 has an L-shaped radial cross-section. The inner support frame 2 includes a ring-shaped first frame 21 and a ring-shaped second frame 22. The radial cross-section of the second frame 22 is U-shaped. The lower end of the first frame 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner side of the second frame 22. The upper end of the outer side of the second frame 22 is in contact with the bend of the outer support frame 1. An outer rubber sealing layer is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the outer support frame 1, the first frame 21, and the second frame 22. The outer rubber sealing layer adopts a multi-protruding sealing rib design.
