Cut To Plastics Thordon grease- and oil-free pump bearings

Cut To Size Plastics’ Thordon range of plastic bearings is a selection of oil- and grease-free vertical pump bearings designed for long-lasting, high-performance use. The product range offers high abrasion-resistance, dry start-up capability and is self-lubricating.

The elastomeric and thermoplastic range absorbs impact or shock loads with a dampening capacity that is almost five times larger than the capacity offered by rubber bearings, while also having a better wear rate than brass bearings. A low dry coefficient of friction means that the range has improved efficiency and the low friction properties result in reduced start-up torque.

The range can be used in open and closed tube vertical pumps from a range of industries and with a variety of different pump types. The products in the range are corrosion-resistant and are able to withstand high temperatures.

The range offers flexible sizing, easy machining and installation. The bearings can be installed and removed with high speed to allow for quick maintenance.
