Thordon Bearings Inc. has announced ThorPlas, a proprietary engineered (non-elastomer) thermoplastic bearing for industrial journal bearing applications. ThorPlas has been formulated to complement the existing range of Thordon elastomer bearing grades and is said to significantly expand the range of applications where Thordon bearings can be specified, while still maintaining many of the recognized Thordon performance benefits.
ThorPlas offers the following advantages: increased strength and
rigidity allowing working pressures in an interference fit bearing up
to 31 Mpa; improved ability to operate at elevated temperatures -
maximum continuous service temperatures of 80°C in water and 110°C dry;
improved chemical resistance; and, self lubricating.
