PFC-6 Features

A high-strength fiber-reinforced composite material manufactured using a unique process that maintains high compressive strength for wear resistance while preserving low friction properties. PFC-6 has demonstrated unparalleled adaptability in complex operating environments across diverse conditions.

PFC-22 Features

An advanced reinforced composite containing solid lubricants. This material exhibits exceptional wear resistance, minimal water swelling, and dimensional stability. It withstands edge loading and deflection even under the heaviest loads. Marine bearings are installed with interference fits. Bearings are typically cryogenically installed using liquid nitrogen, though press-fitting or resin plugging is also available as needed. PFC-22 proves particularly effective under prolonged lubrication-free conditions, such as upper rudder pivot bearings in light ballast scenarios. Multiple grades are available to meet diverse vessel requirements, offering resistance to silt and dry grinding. The material is cost-effective, easy to machine, and simple to install, with rapid customization available per user specifications.

Water-lubricated bearings utilize water pressure and flow to form a lubricating film, reducing friction and wear. Water forms a thin film within the bearing clearance, minimizing friction losses during operation and enhancing efficiency. The bushings in contact with the shaft are made of polymer composite materials, capable of withstanding diverse operating conditions such as silt, heavy loads, and high temperatures. Their structures include integral, split, plate, and other configurations.
