FEROFORM PR82 is a composite material made from woven synthetic fibres which are bonded with resins and a friction modifier. FEROFORM PR82 has high strength, durability, dimensional stability, low friction, and excellent wear characteristics.
A self lubricating material, FEROFORM PR82 is often used in place of metal bearings offering a cost saving to equipment manufacturers by eliminating complex lubrication systems. FEROFORM PR82 is suitable for a variety of applications in the offshore and marine industries including deck machinery, crane bearings, fingerboard bushes, and ram head drill bearings.
The material's versatility and high performance has lead to crane and heavy lift equipment manufacturers to convert from traditional greased bronze to FEROFORM PR82, providing a durable "fit and forget' solution.
FEROFORM PR82 grade is supplied in base tubes or as fully machined items to suit customer requirements.
