| This family of materials offers the combination of high compressive strength, low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while running without lubrication. They are used in bearing and seal applications from temperature extremes of -320°F to 350°F with and without additional lubricants. TriStar FCJ Composite Bearing: Multi-layer lightweight construction provides dry lubrication with high reliability. The innermost layer features a braided synthetic fiber/PTFE tubular liner saturated with epoxy resin. A low helix angle layer of epoxy-coated glass filaments follows for axial strength. Multiple high helix angle layers comprise the outer structure and provide compressive strength. Ideally suited for non-lubricated high-load/low-speed shock load applications. Operates well in demanding and destructive environments. Rb 25 and higher steel mating surface. Material has thermal and electrical insulating properties. Suitable for use in steam, wet, dry, or vacuum environments. Markets for FCJ Composite Bearings include Agricultural, Appliances, Automotive, Construction, Industrial, and Transportation. |
