Phenolic Bearings
Gatke molded fabric bearings far outlast metal as they are chemically designed to withstand the harshest applications.
During manufacturing, the molding pressure is applied in the direction of the bearing load which gives Gatke bearings their unique strength characteristics. Their extreme hardness makes them unbelievably tough and long wearing. But they are also very resilient which means they can withstand repeated shocks and heavy loads that literally destroy metal and plastic bearings. In fact, you can run Gatke bearings without lubrication and they won’t create the galling and scoring that would result with metal bearings. These bearings are available in a variety of formulations to specifically meet the friction and strength needs of the application.
Kor-Pak’s staff will help you select the appropriate material and assist you in designing a custom product that provides the optimal solution for your needs.
