Self-lubricating composite bearings have been developed which have proven effective in reducing maintenance of off-highway equipment. The bearings rely on the strength of fiber glass/epoxy composite, the abrasion resistance of Nomex, and the lubricating qualities of Teflon to provide high load capacity and long service life. Wear rates, load capacities and applications are discussed.
