Zero Maintenance Self-Lubricating Bearings.
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 Bearings
Filament Wound fiberglass-epoxy structure. The gold standard for heavy-duty pivots.
Performance Matrix
Static Load Limit
>400MPa
Max PV (Dry)
1.8MPa·m/s
160°Celsius
0.03Coeff μ
Best Used For:
- Earthmoving Pivot points on excavators/loaders
- Marine / Subsea Winches, hatch covers, rudders
Technical Note Contains a proprietary PTFE woven fabric liner bonded to the glass-epoxy backing.
CR-Series
Metal Backed Bushings
Composite liner bonded to a metallic shell. High temperature range & precise fits.
Performance Matrix
Static Load Limit
250MPa
Max PV (Lube)
5.0MPa·m/s
280°Celsius
0.05Coeff μ
Best Used For:
- Automotive Shock absorbers, pumps, hinges
- Valves (High Temp) Fluid control up to 280°C
Note: Thin wall design allows for replacing traditional bronze bushings without resizing housing.
