TRIBO/COMP® Self-Lubricating Composites
Our materials have a high strength-to-weight ratio which is one-fourth the weight of steel and two-thirds the weight of aluminum. These graphite composites exhibit extremely long wear life, low coefficient of friction (as low as .07) and will withstand loads in excess of 30,000 psi. They will also have chemical inertness and good electrical and thermal conductivity.
TRIBO/COMP can be processed into a variety of mechanical shapes which are self-lubricating and are superior to aluminum in stiffness per unit mass at temperatures to 600°F These components are manufactured by compression, matched-die molding and show excellent dimensional stability through repeated heating/cooling cycles and exposure to water or water vapor, solvents and oils.
TRIBO/COMP Can Be Made In Many Shapes And Forms Such As:Spherical Bearings
Rod End Bearings
Bushings
Stem Guides
Thrust Washers
Wear Pads
Vanes
Pistons
Slide Bearings
Bearing Retainers
Gears
Seats
