Technical Bulletin for Composite-Lined Bearing

Featured at Semicon West

Thomson Industries has released a new technical bulletin on its FluoroNyliner bushing bearing that contains current product specifications, benefits, performance characteristics, and a chart rating resistance to common chemicals. A separate section in the bulletin details the closed, open, and self-aligning bearings. These bearings are also available in single and twin pillow block versions.

When operating in hostile, contaminated, submerged, or washdown conditions, or in a vacuum, the FluoroNyliner bushing bearing requires no additional lubrication. The proprietary, self-lubricating composite liner is wear-resistant and able to withstand shock, vibration, and temperature extremes up to 550°F. The FluoroNyliner bushing bearing tolerates aggressive chemicals, slurries, cutting fluids, machining debris, and weld splatter. It can be used in short stroke/high speed applications up to 400 ft/min. It is available in standard inch and metric sizes.
