TRIBO TOP® Composite Materials

Elcee Holland is since 30 years a leading manufacter for all sorts of slide bearings. Our extensive program, with self lubricating, sintered bearings, total injection moulded plastic bearings, sphericals and sliding strips, all sorts of casted bronze and stainless steel bearings, we have a solution for all your bearing applications.

Besides of that, we offer a program TRIBO TOP ®, high quality composite Materials. These materials are reinforced, laminated plastics, which are excellent in use for middle till very high loaded applications in several conditions. These materials can be supplied as tube- and sheetmaterial, but also as finished machined part to drawing, such as bearings, rings, sliding pads, spherical bearings and rollers.

Our TRIBO TOP ® composite materials offer a high quality alternative to existing bearing materials, combined with important advantages. All qualities are wounded or laminated materials, made from a synthetic cord or - cloth, impregnated with a thermoset resin with solid lubricants. TRIBO TOP ® materials are non toxic and are also applicable for food-applications.

Important Properties

Tribo Top ® composite materials are used for decades in all industrial areas and offer many advantages in compare to metallic sliding bearings.
There are a lot of different materials available, each with its own composition and mechanical properties, to meet the requirements for all kinds of special applications.

Please find here below a number of advantages for our Tribo Top ® materials in compare to other sliding bearing materials:

* Low friction
Tribo Top ® materials have an excellent dynamic friction. This low friction offers a combination of higher loads and higher surface speeds.

* High wear resistance
Tribo Top ® composite materials a very good resistance against wear, what very often results in a longer lifetime than bronze and other materials. There is also much less effect in very dirty circumstances or poor lubrication.

* Very good elasticity
Suitable for absorbing high loads and shockloads.

* Little or no lubrication

* Excellent with very high loads
Higher loaded than many other materials. This high surface pressure is achieved by a certain orientation of the fibers and properties of the reinforcement.

* Compensation of misalignment

* Absolutely no fretting.
