FEROFORM T814 has strength, durability, dimensional stability, low friction, and excellent wear characteristics. It has the ability to run both dry and wet with water lubrication making it extremely useful in Hydro and Marine applications.
In Hydro Electric Power applications FEROFORM T814 replaces traditional grease lubricated bearings to provide a 'fit and forget' solution, promoting a cleaner environment whilst reducing operating costs.
Marine bearing applications for FEROFORM T814 include davits, stern rollers, winches, cranes and deck machinery.
Field of Applications
Hydro
The ability of TENMAT bearings to work in both dry and wet conditions without grease lubrication means they are used in a wide variety of applications within the Hydropower industry. FEROFORM and FEROGLIDE bearings have been used around the world for many years and there are long lists of references in Francis, Kaplan, and Pelton turbines as also in the associated mechanical equipment.
FEROFORM T814 has a low coefficient of friction in both wet and dry conditions. It is used for wicket gates in the upper, intermediate and lower positions, as well as in control linkages. FEROFORM T814 is resistant to abrasive conditions such as water containing silt, which gives high performance in main guide bearings.
FEROGLIDE bearings have the ability to take high loads and are used in oscillating applications such as regulating rings, valve bearings and wicket gate bearings.

FEROFORM and RAILKO bearings offer ship owners, shipyards, designers and OEM's considerable benefits in terms of performance, reliability, ease of use, availability and design. They can be supplied in various forms including bushes, fully machined bearings, staves etc.
FEROFORM and RAILKO bearings provide high compressive strength, durability, dimensional stability, and low friction. Their excellent wear characteristics promote long life, especially in arduous abrasive and sand laden waters. Thus reducing maintenance costs for the end users.
Merchant fleets around the world use FEROFORM T14 for their stern tube and rudder bearing applications, and it has been fitted in more than 8000 vessels worldwide.
FEROFORM T11 and T814 are high wear resistant materials offering low friction rates and are able to operate without need for lubrication, thereby reducing operational and maintenance costs. They are a 'fit and forget' solution for applications such as hatch cover pads, slipway pads, stern rollers, davits, deck machinery and marine cranes.
FEROFORM T12 and RAILKO NF21/NF22 are approved and used by Navies worldwide for propeller shaft and rudder bearings, offering reduced stick slip, improved fuel efficiency, lower vibration and reduced wear.
FEROFORM PR18 is an excellent addition to the well established FEROFORM T grade range of bearing materials. FEROFORM PR18 has been fitted on many merchant vessels worldwide and is approved for rudder bearings by all the major marine classification societies. FEROFORM PR18 is the new name for RAILKO RG22 . FEROFORM PR grades provide an economical solution to many marine applications including deck machinery, davits, cranes and many more.
FEROFORM F3637 is used for tank insulation pads for asphalt, sulphur, and bitumen carriers. It has a combination of high insulation, high strength, and controlled friction that means the tanks can expand freely without damage when the tanks are filled and emptied. FEROFORM F3637 pads are a fit and forget solution requiring no maintenance after installation.
Other marine applications for TENMAT materials include hatch cover pads, cutter head bearings, slipway pads, capstans, davit bearings, winches, anchor sheave bushes, and derricks.
Offshore

The ability of FEROFORM bearings to work with sea water in dirty abrasive environments gives design engineers robust bearing and wear pad solutions for the offshore industries.
FEROFORM T814 is used on Floating Production and Storage Operation (FPSO) turrets horizontal and vertical slide pads due to its low level of friction and resistance to wear. Other applications are for windlasses, jack lift guides, drill string support pivots, fairleads, sheaves, and mooring systems.
FEROFORM PR82 can be used as fingerboard bushes, crane pivot point bearings, stinger roller bearings, fairleads, winches and much more. A self lubricating material, PR82 is often used in place metal bearings offering a cost saving to equipment manufacturers by eliminating complex lubrication systems.
Renewable Energies
Renewable Energies
FEROFORM T814 bearings are used in a variety of applications for renewable power such as main turbine shaft bearings and actuation linkages.
For wave and tidal power applications the ability to work well in an aggressive seawater environment is a key reason why designers choose FEROFORM T814.
Other applications include sliding pads and bushes in wind turbines.
Valves
Valves
FEROGLIDE bearings are used extensively by valve manufacturers as the bearings carry high load whilst maintaining low friction. FEROGLIDE bearings have a metal backing and a composite self lubricating surface. This gives a combination of high strength, excellent chemical resistance, and low coefficient of friction which means that FEROGLIDE is the material of choice for oil and gas valves in sub-sea and platform applications.
FEROGLIDE bearings are used in ball valves and butterfly valves for the trunion guide bushes and stem bearings. Standard and special size FEROGLIDE bearings are supplied in Inconel stainless steel and duplex steel.
FEROFORM T814 bearings are used in applications for clean and waste water. This is due to FEROFORM T814 demonstrating low friction performance and almost no stick slip.
