Frequently Asked Questions - Product Definitions

Answer: 

Pot Bearings are multi-rotational bearings that permit rotation by the use of a confined elastomer – confined within a “pot”. Please see our Products page for “Pot Bearings”.

Answer: 

Disc Bearings are multi-rotational bearings that permit rotation by the compression of a urethane disc. Please see our Products page for “Disc Bearings”.

Answer: 

Laminated Elastomeric Bearings are bearings that permit rotation and translation though the compression and shear of elastomeric layers “sandwiched” between layers of thin steel plates. Please see our Products page for “Elastomeric Bearings”.

Answer: 

Spherical Bearings are multi-rotational bearings that permit rotation by the movement of concave stainless steel surface over a matching convex surface that is covered with woven PTFE fabric. Please see our Products page for “TeXLon Spherical Bearings”.

Answer: 

Self-Lubricating Bronze Bearings are bearings that allow rotation and translation by the movement of self-lubricated bronze elements over steel sliding surfaces – both flat and radial. Please see our Products page for “Cosmec XL Self-Lubricating Bronze Bearings”
