Composite bearings are non-metallic and non-conductible fabric reinforced resin bearing in which contained solid lubricant provides sufficient self-lubricating resistance.

• Excellent wear resistance:
  IB 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:
  IB 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 IB materials can run dry.
• 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.
• Easy installation:
  Can be installed by press or freeze fitting (dry ice or liquid nitrogen).
