PTFE SLIDE BEARINGS

Pipe supports are used to eliminate damage at the pipe crossings caused due to lateral or linear movement of pipes and are ideal for use between pipe & pipe supporting structures or at pipe crossings. They also find usage as structural supports / expansion plates for boilers, pressure vessels, air pre-heaters, electro static precipitators etc. These sliding bearing supports permit unrestricted movement at free end, owing to the changes in temperature or during loading / unloading or due to seismic effect. If the supports are rigid, stress will be developed at the supports & causing major damages to the structure. Pipe / structural supports are generally designed to meet the requirements of BS 5400 standard section 9.1. Rollon bearings design & manufacture the pipe supports / structural supports with ROLLON TB SLIDEWAY material as the interface material. ROLLON TB SLIDEWAY is a composite material consisting of PTFE & sintered bronze along with special wear resistant additives. It is a self-lubricating, wear resistant material suitable for temperatures up to 260° c and not effected by weather & most chemicals.We can also supply the sliding supports with interface material in virgin PTFE, graphite or any filled PTFE to suit the customers specification.
