Self-lubricating bearings to main guide bearings, wicket gate thrust bearings, linkage bearings are ideal applications for Thordon.With Thordon bearings, we can offer an environmentally friendly and reliable bearing solution.
ThorPlas-Blue is an engineered thermoplastic, capable of dry start-up and design pressures up to 45MPa (6,527 psi), static 65MPa. It operates in water, up to 80°C (230°F). In dry conditions, it operates up to 100°C (230°F). In non-abrasive environments, ThorPlas-Blue has very low wear rates.
Thordon HPSXL TRAXL is suitable for high pressure applications up to 55MPa (8,000 psi) dynamic or 70MPa (10,000 psi) static. The coefficient of friction is typically between 0.06-0.12 and is highly resistant to shock loading and vibration.
Thordon SXL is capable of working pressure up to 10MPa (1,450 psi). The coefficient of friction is typically between 0.10-0.20. SXL is capable of dry start-up and can operate in either wet or dry environments. It is highly resistant to abrasion, shock loading, and vibration.
Made specifically for use in very abrasive water environments, GM2401 is stiffer and at least twice the abrasion resistance of rubber. It also has a lower coefficient of friction that rubber.
Thorseal hydraulic seal keeps abrasives away from the bearing surface. It is capable of working pressures from 0-100 MPa (0-15,000 psi) and is extremely tough, never cutting or tearing. It has a low COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, is self-lubricating, and has a long wear life with reduced maintenance costs. Thorseal can be custom designed to solve difficult sealing challenges.
DUWEL Group provides high quality environmental products only from suppliers that we believe in and we strive to ensure our partners are getting the best solution.
DUWEL’s business is based on building long-term relationships with our customers to become their partner, rather than “just” being a supplier.
We always try to ensure that our partners get honest and knowledgeable advice for their needs. If our products aren’t right for the application we will say - our reputation and relationships are more important to us than individual sales.
Partnering with DUWEL not only ensures excellent technical and environmental solutions but you can also expect a little more, something extraordinary that will exceed your expectations.
We call it "DUWEL CLASS"
