Kamglide® Composite Bearings

High-performance self-lubricating composite bearing materials designed for demanding industrial applications requiring excellent wear resistance, high load capacity and long service life.

What is Kamglide®?

Kamglide® composite bearings are engineered to provide reliable, maintenance-free performance in applications, as a wear ring or oil seal, where conventional lubricated bearings are unsuitable or difficult to service. Designed using advanced composite materials, Kamglide® bearings offer low friction, high wear resistance and excellent durability, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments.

Key Benefits

Maintenance Free

Eliminates routine lubrication, reducing maintenance costs and equipment downtime.

Low Friction

Engineered sliding surfaces provide smooth operation and reduced wear under demanding conditions.

High Load Capacity

Designed to withstand heavy industrial loads while maintaining consistent performance.

Long Service Life

Outstanding wear resistance helps extend bearing life and reduce replacement frequency.

Composite Bearing Technology

Composite Construction

Advanced fibre-reinforced composite materials provide excellent strength, dimensional stability and long-term reliability.

Self-Lubricating Surface

Engineered bearing surfaces reduce friction while operating without routine lubrication.

Industrial Performance

Designed for continuous operation in mining, agriculture, construction and manufacturing industries.

Composite Construction

Kamglide® bearings combine advanced composite materials with engineered sliding surfaces to deliver reliable operation, excellent wear resistance and extended service life in demanding industrial environments.

Composite Structure

High-strength reinforced composite material provides outstanding mechanical stability and durability.

Sliding Surface

Self-lubricating bearing layer minimises friction while eliminating routine lubrication requirements.
