Composite self lubricating bearings take advantage of superior strength from filament or laminate wound structure. Add to that a variety of lubricating media like PTFE, MOS2, Graphite and combine with abrasion resistant, high strength woven liners and you have the makings of super bearings! Composite bearings are primarily applied to high load, low speed applications however new liner materials allow for speeds up to 500 feet per minute without lubrication. Another unique quality of composite bearings is they love to be under water. Excellent materials for marine applications under water, deck side and dock side.
