Laminates composites

CIP Composite material is a laminated plastic material

made by impregnating fabric with thermosetting

resins. The physical and mechanical properties of all

grades of CIP make them excellent bearing materials.

CIP composites offer design engineers an attractive,

low cost alternative to the traditional materials used

throughout industry for bearings, wear pads and other

components.

CIP is only 1/6 the weight of steel, easily machined,

has good dimensional stability and contains no harmful

or toxic materials.
 

Advantages of using CIP composites

• Low maintenance, allows for reduction or elimination

of wet lubrication.

• Excellent electrical insulation and non-magnetic

series are available.

• Excellent dimensional stability in water, corrosive

fluids and chemical solutions.

• Does not contain abrasive fillers (no calcium carbonate fillers.)

• High load capacity and shock load resistant.

• Excellent mechanical strength.

• Long life, wear resistant.

• Non-abrasive to mating surfaces.

Applications

General purpose bearing & wear pad applications,

conveyor chain guides, electrical insulators, screw conveyor

hanger bearings, hydraulic cylinder wear rings.

Linear slides or pivot points. Scissor lifts, bottle and

capping machinery.

Kiln cart bearings, wear strips on heat shrink sealing

machines, bearings in steel and aluminum plants,

high-temp hydraulic applications.

Ideal for pivoting and sliding applications where

thin wall bearings are required.
