Bearing Product Offerings
Lubron® HX
Engineered for long term submersion in water, the new LUBRON HX bearings feature a proprietary liner system composed of solid lubricants contained within resin bonded to corrosion resistant materials. The result is a new ultra capable bearing suitable for continuous long-term operation underwater.
Product Offerings By Liner
Lubron® SL
Widely used in industrial and structural applications for moderate to heavy loads and cryogenic to elevated temperatures. Solid graphite lubricants are compounded and compressed into trepanned or circular recesses.
*Available in combination with bronze, copper, nickel, and Meehanite alloys.
Fiberglide®
Ideal for oscillation, vibration, full rotation, and linear applications. Wrapped bushes, wear plates, and thrust washers are available in both metal and non-metal backed options. Fiberglide excels in the 2,000 to 10,000 psi load spectrum and has a low coefficient of friction.
Lubron® AQ
The proven choice for hydro and
marine applications. Composed of high-strength bronze alloys permanently embedded with PTFE solid lubricants, suited for underwater applications, specified by water power authorities and engineering companies worldwide.
Lubron® TF
Offers exceptional performance for high-load low-friction applications. Constructed of woven PTFE fabric liners permanently bonded and mechanically locked to rigid bronze, stainless steel, or fiberglass backings. Capable of very low friction and high-wear resistance.
Lubron® AE
Designed for use in nuclear power plants and nuclear-powered vessels. Capable of withstanding high radiation and high temperatures. LUBRON AE near-isotropic nuclear grade graphite solid lubricants are employed to provide long and reliable service life.
Lubron® TR
Used for low friction and moderate load applications. Consist of pure PTFE or glass-filled PTFE resin sheets bonded to a combination of carbon steel, stainless steel, reinforced elastomer, or neoprene substrates. Recommended for loads up to 2,000 psi.
