Already well known among many industries, Luytex® engineered composite bearings are used in a wide range of general engineering applications

Already well known among many industries, Luytex® engineered composite bearings are used in a wide range of general engineering applications.

The composite material for Luytex® bearing products, is a combination of fine-fabric synthetics impregnated with special thermoplastic polyester resins.

Luytex® is made in a wide range of compositions and offers a unique combination of characteristics such as: high-load capabilities superior wear resistance exceptional anti-friction properties an ability to cope with most environmental and temperature extremes.

Furthermore, Luytex® materials can be machined to suit precision engineering requirements using conventional machining methods.

These unique engineering capabilities enable design engineers to eliminate heavy, high-maintenance metal bearings.

By replacing conventional metal bearings with efficient, lightweight, maintenance-free, self-lubricating Luytex® bearings, engineers can design applications which are dry running with an exceptionally low coefficient of friction.

The considerable advantages of Luytex® composite bearings like improved operating performance, reduced maintenance costs, ultra-low friction, wear resistance, as well as the prospect of a cost-effective solution for nearly every bearing application make Luytex® the ideal composite bearing material.

Luytex® C380 is ideal for use as piston and rod wear rings in hydraulic cylinders.

Luytex® C322 wear pads and bushings offer exceptionally low wear.

Luytex® C367 has anti-friction properties for sliding surfaces providing a considerable friction-reducing effect.

Luytex® bearings can be found in many demanding and diverse industry applications including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, construction, defense, food processing, general hydraulics, injection moulding machinery, machine tool, material handling, mining, medical, mobile, nuclear, oil & gas, and robotic, to name but a few.

Luytex® is manufactured within the Busak+Shamban Group by Orkot Composites.
