Composite materials by WSW Wälzlager Wolfgang Streich GmbH & Co
Composite materials consist of plastic fine mesh impregnated with thermosetting resins, uniformly mixed solid lubricants and other additives to achieve an optimum solution for numerous applications. In addition to our standard material, materials customized for specific applications are also available.
WSW composite materials offer numerous advantages over conventional bearing materials made of metal and bearings made of other polymers:
- Low coefficient of friction
- High load carrying capacity
- Good resistance to corrosive environmental influences
- Use in fresh- or seawater without grease lubrication
- Vibration damping effect
- Insensitive to edge loads
- Easy machining on site
- Multiple mounting options: Press-fit, deep-freeze or adhesive bonding
- Dimensional stability
- Use as an insulator against galvanic corrosion
- WSW composite materials are asbestos-free, non-toxic and environmentally friendly
