ACM Composite Bearings have been developing and manufacturing highly engineered synthetic composite materials for Marine and Industrial Engineering markets worldwide for over 25 years.

The main constituent parts for Composite bearing material are, Reinforcement, Resin and Filler. Grades offered are listed below.

• TriboTape       Wear Strips composites, two grades for Hydraulic Cylinders
• TriboGuide     Wear Rings composites, four grades for Hydraulic Cylinders 
• TriboTex 3      Reduced wear over metal bearing products
• TriboTex 7      Self lubricating composites for the Hydropower Industry
• TriboGlide 15  Self lubricating composites for the Hydropower Industry
• L2 Marine      Marine composite for lubricated and dry operation
• TriboTemp 10  Hi speed, high load, low wear and long life 
• TriboTemp 20  High load, low wear, low friction and long life 
• TriboChem 11   Low coefficient of friction (Dry), high chemical resistance 

ACM composites are suitable for a large range of industries of which the Hydropower industry is but one. Below are some common applications.

    Hydraulic cylinders    Rail industry

    Wicket gate              Main turbine bearings

    Hub bearings            Sluice gates              

    Control linkages        Irrigation systems

    Trash racks               Lock gates

    Pumps                     Fish locks and elevators
