Markets We Serve

Tribotech’s polyester resin composite bearings are the gold standard in hydraulic applications, providing world-class performance, precision and guidance, while preventing metal-to-metal contact with the cylinder.

With exceptionally high compressive strength, shock-load capabilities and dimensional stability with or without fluids, Tribotech bearings offer a significant advantage over traditional materials, such as phenolic, glass nylon and other thermoplastics. Tribotech materials can easily replace thermoplastic and metallic bearings and bushings in nearly any application.

Tribotech materials are an ideal fit in the hydropower industry, offering design engineers and maintenance managers a dependable, high-quality solution to reduce maintenance and optimize system performance.

Self-lubricating, wear-resistant and low friction – Tribotech materials offer exceptional dimensional stability and high-load capabilities that eliminate toxic or abrasive fillers. Tribotech materials can replace thermoplastic and metallic bearings and bushings in nearly all applications.

On deck or below the waterline, Tribotech Composites offers marine engineers and maintenance managers an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.

Non-corrosive, greaseless and self-lubricating, the materials feature great dimensional stability and high load capabilities and contain no toxic or abrasive fillers. Tribotech materials are easily machined and can be freeze fitted, press fitted or resin chocked. They can be used to replace thermoplastic and metallic bearings and bushings in almost every application where they are used.

Tribotech’s polyester resin composite bushings are built for the kind of service agricultural and construction equipment actually sees in the field: dust, mud, washdown water, contaminated grease, missed lubrication intervals, and shock loading from rough terrain. Where traditional bronze bushings score the pin and gall under poor lubrication, and thermoplastics swell or creep under sustained load, Tribotech materials run dry, tolerate grit and water ingress, and hold dimensional stability through the entire service cycle. For OEMs and maintenance teams, the result is fewer scheduled greasing cycles, less pin damage, and longer intervals between rebuilds. Tribotech bushings replace bronze, steel, and thermoplastic sleeve bearings across the full pivot-and-linkage system of modern equipment, from loader and backhoe joints to combine articulation points and planter implements, without redesigning the housing or pin.

Tribotech bearings are used at nearly every stage of oil-and-gas production, from extraction pumps, compressors and turbo expanders to refining, transportation and storage. Self-lubricating and maintenance-free, these high-quality polyester resin blends will not swell with exposure to fluids.

With high temperature resistance, they work exceptionally well with most hydraulic fluids used throughout oil-and-gas applications. Tribotech materials exhibit high load bearing and shock-load capabilities to maintain peak performance in dry or submerged conditions.

Tribotech materials often replace thermoplastic and metallic bearings and bushings in nearly all applications.
