Deck Equipment and Other Marine Bearings
The versatility of Thordon technology provides Navies and Coast Guards around the world with pollution-free, low maintenance and long lasting solutions for deck equipment bearings using ThorPlas and HPSXL TRAXL bearings.
ThorPlas is a low friction polymer bearing designed for problem areas that have frequent maintenance where grease lubrication is not always possible and there is a high cost consequence of seized bushings. With a maximum working pressure to 31 MPa (4500 psi), ThorPlas is in line with capabilities of bronze and operates above and below the waterline. ThorPlas is a direct replacement for all greased bronze bearing applications eliminating the polluting grease, labour time and cost.
Typical applications include davit bearings, fairlead, sheave and pivot bearings, water tight door bushings, cargo ramp bushings and crane bearings. 
HPSXL TRAXL is the HPSXL polymer in a bronze-backed configuration for high pressure applications with permissible peak static pressure up to 70 MPa (10,000 psi) with a very low dry coefficient of friction. HPSXL TRAXL is resistant to shock loading and vibration and is excellent for clean, oscillating, water lubricated applications requiring high load capability.
