THE ELASTOMETRIC "BEARING:" WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU

Replacing sliding surfaces with the internal mobility of elastomers is a significant breakthrough in bearing technology that can increase service life 5 to 10 times that of conventional antifriction bearings. In addition to longer life, elastomeric bearings need no lubrication, are easy to inspect, require minimum maintenance, and simplify designs. Thousands of hours of laboratory and service testing have verified the performance of these bearings.
