Thordon bearings are designed to work under the most extreme conditions: abrasive, corrosive, high impact load, high humidity and especially in areas where bushings are difficult to maintain. Thordon polymer bearings have been used in a wide range of industries and various applications. With each and every day, we are discovering new and innovative applications in which our bushings succeed in preventing accelerated wear. Some of these applications include linear bearings of a paper cutter, motor scraper elevator found in earth moving equipment, and shaft keeper plates commonly found in the dairy industry. Our materials are fully customizable, self-lubricating, and offer longer bearing wear life than the traditional bearings they replace resulting in improved reliability and reduced life cycle costs.
