Composite Marine
and Industrial Bearings Material Grades
Materials Grades
PM&I Composite Marine Bearings
are manufactured from a unique synthetic composition incorporating
solid lubricants for dry running to ensure outstanding wear life.
Virtually no swelling in sea water and very low thermal coefficient
of expansion provide dimensional stability in arctic and tropical
seas. They do not corrode or promote corrosion of the housing and
tolerate both edge loading and misalignment.
TLM Marine
This is the standard of material incorporating a
woven fabric reinforcement and solid lubricants within a
thermosetting resin matrix. The material can be used in conjunction
with water and grease lubrication and can run dry for limited
periods.
TXM Marine
Is a further development of TLM Marine utilizing
a specialized bearing surface to extend its dry running capabilities
which reduces friction and wear rates. It can also be used with
grease and water lubrication.
