Filament Wound Bearing

Fiber Reinforced Composite Bearings

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

  • The reinforced composite structure enables the bearing to support high static and dynamic loads.

Corrosion Resistant

  • The inert nature of the filament wound materials makes these products ideal for corrosive environments such as seawater and acidic environments.

Excellent Shock and Edge Loading Capacity

  • Feature exceptional chemical and corrosion protection, offering a barrier of inert material between surfaces to extend longevity.

Dimensionally Stable

  • Very low water absorption, low swelling.

Applications

Laboratory and field testing have proven that Fiber Reinforced Composite bearings provide outstanding performance in a wide variety of demanding dry or lubricated bearing applications such as:

  • Aerial Lifts
  • Aerospace and Space Applications
  • Agricultural Equipment
  • Construction Equipment
  • Material Handling Equipment
  • Processing Equipment
  • Railroad Applications
  • Snowmobile and ATV CVT Clutches
  • Waste and Recycling Equipment
  • Water Turbines
  • Wind Turbines
