POLYLUBE® SELF LUBRICATED BEARINGS

INHERENTLY SELF-LUBRICATING, CORROSION RESISTANT, LIGHT WEIGHT AND ENGINEERED FOR YOUR APPLICATION.

Tailored to meet your design and performance needs, Polygon’s PolyLube bearings are plain continuous fiber reinforced self-lubricated composite bearings that provide strength and performance.

POLYGON COMPOSITE ENGINEERS WORK WITH YOU

Our design and performance engineers use their extensive knowledge and experience in composite science to assist your team in determining the best fiber architecture, resin formulations and finishing to engineer your ideal application. Polygon holds the original patents, plus possesses over 70-years of experience working with composite resins.  We will work with you to prepare an exceptional, customized component for your project.

Your chosen composite construction can allow for these features in your bearing:

• Maintenance-free. True self-lubrication with uniquely woven filament liner.
• Lower total cost of operation (TCO). Eliminate zerks, grease costs, pathways in pins and castings, and maintenance labor cost.
• Design Flexibility.High strength. Light weight. Large or small size.
• Thin walls - 1.5mm to 3.0mm. Low coefficient of friction, coupled with high loadbearing capacity.
• Long service life. Testing shows wear under 0.006" after 1.6 million cycles.
• Resistance to impact fatigue and cavitation problems.
• Higher operating temperature range -325° to 475°F.
• Bushing selections for wet and submerged applications, reliability in contamination, high frequency, low oscillation, etc.
• Machined holes, cutouts and more.

All Purpose MRP
