Applications

Applications include material handling equipment, heavy duty cranes, earth-moving equipment, construction equipment, agriculture equipment and food processing systems.

Long life cycle

Testing has shown this bearing has wear under 0.006" after 1.6 million cycles. The bearing surface is composed of a uniquely designed woven structure of PTFE super-filaments, which exhibit tensile strengths twenty times greater than PTFE resins. As a result, the bearing is not subject to cold flow under high loading conditions.

Greaseless

PTFE super-filaments are also the primary mechanism for allowing the POLYLUBE® product to operate in a true self-lubricating mode. Secondary lubrication is not necessary during start-up due to a film transfer that occurs with the self-lubrication process.

Handles industrial-level strain

The PolyLube Fiber Series feature thin walls, from 1/16" to 1/8", which can often reduce the size and weight of the finished bearing assembly. They will support a bearing load of 30,000 PSI, while handling high radial and axial stresses. They resist high shock loading and impact fatigue due to their unique high strength continuous fiberglass backing. PolyLube Fiber Series bearings are ideal for high load operation in rotational and linear movements as well as in oscillation. They exhibit exceptional dimensional stability and performance predictability over wide temperature ranges (±325°F).

The bearing is manufactured by a filament winding process that results in a continuous fiberglass filament backing composition-ensuring excellent mechanical properties,especially fatigue resistance. The filament wound fiberglass structure uses a high strength, corrosion resistant epoxy resin as the matrix material.
