Polymer Bearings

Trelleborg's range of bearing materials includes Turcite® and HiMod® engineered thermoplastic bearings and Orkot® synthetic composite bearings.

Polymer bearings offer significant advantages over traditional metal bearings. They are dimensionally stable, have excellent wear resistance and outstanding low-friction characteristics, giving them unrivalled performance in dry running conditions or with boundary lubrication. With virtually no swell in seawater, Orkot® Marine Bearings are also ideal for marine and hydropower applications.

The Trelleborg Sealing Solutions product range for polymer bearings for use in oil & gas applications includes:

Unrivalled performance in dry running conditions
