- Excellent wear resistance:
FEROFORM materials show consistently lower wear rates than all competitive materials in their field.
- Good dimensional stability:
Particularly when immersed in water, mineral oils or greases.
- Excellent abrasion resistance:
FEROFORM materials can be used in environments where abrasive particles are
present.
- Electrical insulation:
Not susceptible to electrolytic corrosion (non graphited grades).
- Excellent resilience:
Capable of absorbing high shock loading/impact, enabling misalignment to be taken up without damage or fracturing.
- Self lubricating:
In many applications FEROFORM can run dry.
- User friendly:
Bearings can be machined in-situ or modified on site without loss of
lubricational properties.
- Good chemical resistance:
Performs satisfactorily in the presence of most mineral and organic acids,
solvents, organic bases and non-caustic alkalis.
- Low coefficient of friction:
Enabling higher speeds to be used and allowing heavier payloads to be
carried, minimizing inertial problems (stick slip) with lowest power usage.
- High strength-to-weight ratio:
Approximately 20% the weight of phosphor bronze.
- Easy installation:
Can be installed by press or freeze fitting (dry ice or liquid nitrogen).
- Good resistance to extreme temperatures:
FEROFORM can operate consistently from the Arctic to the Tropics.
