ROLLON PTFE SLIDE BEARINGS

Listing ID #3870633

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 SLIDEWAY material as the interface material. ROLLON 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.

• ROLLON SLIDEWAY has the lowest coefficient of friction, less than 0.03µ
• Load bearing capacity of ROLLON SLIDEWAY is higher than any other polymers used for such applications.
• It compensates for surface irregularities & reduces transmission of impact shock.
• Chemicals & weather has no effect on ROLLON SLIDEWAY. Moisture absorption is less than 0.01% even under icing condition or immersion.
• Vibration is damped & allows even distribution of loads.
• ROLLON SLIDEWAY is abrasion resistant & tend to embed foreign particles without any apparent affect on function or life.
• There is no stick-slip action
• The slide bearing can accommodate some misalignment in construction.
• Bearings are simple in construction & can be installed at site.
