Composite Bearings
Scroll
/// Zero Maintenance
Lubrication is a liability.
Traditional bronze bearings require constant greasing, attract dirt, and fail catastrophically when neglected. Fritex bearings eliminate the lubricant entirely.
Self-Lubricating
PTFE liner provides permanent low friction without grease.
Indestructible
Resists shock, vibration, and extreme loads >400 MPa.
FW-Series
Filament Wound
Filament Wound fiberglass-epoxy structure. The gold standard for heavy-duty pivots.
