NEW COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR BUSHING/BEARING APPLICATIONS
EGC Corporation introduced a new material developed specifically for high load bushing and bearing applications. Called XC-2L, this new lubricated, PEEK®carbon-fiber reinforced composite material is the result of intensive R & D and is the next evolution of their XC-2 material. The addition of a special lubricant compound makes the material one of the few dry running capable materials available on the market today.
The material is ideally suited for rotary, reciprocating and thrust bearing applications. It is used where ball bearings and more common bushing materials cannot be used due to media incompatibility, dry running requirements, high PV requirements, high temperature requirements, or applications where the bearing is subjected to abrasive media.
