ThorPlas-Blue is a homogeneous, self-lubricating engineered thermoplastic bearing capable of withstanding operating pressures up to 45 MPa (6,527 psi) installed in a full-form, interference-fit configuration. It is an engineered thermoplastic offering very low wear in non-abrasive environments with several tests showing low friction and low wear.
Thordon wicket gate, operating mechanism and linkage bearings operate wet or dry and eliminate the cost, maintenance and pollution risk associated with greased bearings.
- Self-lubricating to ensure performance in limited-motion applications
- No galling from edge loading caused by minor misalignments or gate deflections
- Can be machined on site to accommodate dimensional inconsistencies and avoid replacement parts
- Quick stock and custom delivery to meet demanding rehabilitation schedules
