Composite bearings
Kintowe bearings are ideal low friction bearings for use in high load applications where high compressive strength and low creep is required. Kintowe bearings have superior load bearing properties when compared to most thermoplastic or metal bearings.
Kintowe composite bearings are designed with the latest high-performance composite materials. Carbon-graphite and Molybdenum Disulfide fillers can be added to a modified phenolic resin formulation to provide internal lubrication that reduces frictional heat and extends wear life. Kintowe composite bearings have been used in many rolling mill bearing applications to replace bronze, copper and lead Babbitt bearings. Other benefits include low friction, low heat build-up, no cold flow conditions and excellent resiliency.
