This range of fiber reinforced composite products typically consists of a filament-wound, fiberglass-impregnated, epoxy backing with a variety of low-friction wear-resistant bearing linings.
To meet the need for high load, self-lubricating bearings that provide low wear rates, we developed our line of Fiber Reinforced Composite bearings. Combining the excellent lubricating properties of filled PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) with the high strength and stability of epoxy-impregnated, wound glass fibers, this tough, high strength line of bearings provide the radial and axial strength required to support high bearing loads.
Experience the Advantage
![High Load Capacity](/sites/default/files/inline-images/High_Load_Capacity_100px_red_grey.png)
High Load Capacity
The reinforced composite structure enables the bearing to support high static and dynamic loads
![Corrosion Resistant](/sites/default/files/inline-images/Eliminate__Corrosion_100px_red_grey_4.png)
Corrosion Resistant
The inert nature of the filament wound materials makes these products ideal for corrosive environments such as seawater and acidic environments.
