Thordon Composite

Thordon Composite is a two-compound bearing specifically formulated to work in very abrasive environments. An example is the lubrication water of the shafts of the cutter heads of dredgers or in drive shaft systems.

The Thordon Composite bearing, in combination with a hard shaft sleeve, offers the best solution for a long useful life in very abrasive environments.

Benefits:

  • Double the life of rubber in the same application
  • High resistance to abrasion
  • Reduces maintenance
  • Lower coefficient of friction than rubber
  • Easy to install
