Lubron® TR:
A Practical Solution for Low-Friction Movement.
Lubron TR slide bearings utilize PTFE sliding surfaces bonded to steel, stainless steel, elastomer, or fabric-backed components to accommodate thermal, mechanical, and seismic movement. Available in PTFE/PTFE and PTFE/Stainless Steel configurations for a wide range of moderate-load applications.
Applications: Bridges • Buildings • Industrial Equipment • Power Generation Structures
Why Lubron TR?
Simple. Reliable. Economical.
Lubron TR bearings provide a practical solution for applications requiring controlled movement under moderate loads. The self-lubricating PTFE sliding surface delivers low friction while helping accommodate expansion, contraction, vibration, and structural displacement.
Key Features
-
LUBRON TR slide bearings provide a coefficient of friction typically below 6%, allowing smooth and efficient movement while minimizing stick-slip behavior under load.
-
Engineered with PTFE sliding surfaces, LUBRON TR bearings require no routine lubrication, delivering reliable, maintenance-free performance throughout their service life.
-
Designed for applications up to 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa), LUBRON TR bearings offer an economical solution for moderate load requirements, with glass-filled PTFE options available for increased capacity.
-
PTFE sliding surfaces are chemically inert and highly resistant to solvents, fuels, and most industrial chemicals, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments.
-
LUBRON TR bearings maintain dependable performance across extreme temperatures, supporting continuous operation from -360°F (-218°C) to 500°F (260°C).
-
Available with carbon steel, stainless steel, elastomer, or fabric-backed PTFE components, LUBRON TR bearings can be customized to meet a wide range of structural and industrial application requirements.
