Fiberglide® - Fabroid®

The graphs below are typical wear curves for two types of self-lubricating liner materials; Standard Fiberglide® A, and Fabroid® G. The standard Fiberglide® A material is suitable for most applications and significantly outperforms other bearing types. But, should your application include extraordinarily high

static and /or dynamic loads, extremes of temperature, or chemical resistance requirements, Transport Dynamics manufactures a variety of liner materials and backing for critical service applications. There are two types of Fiberglide® liners depending on the product configuration and three types of Fabroid®.

Transport Dynamics is the originator, innovator and leader in self-lubricating bearing technology with over thirty years of material development and application experience. The original Fabroid® Liner System was patented in 1958. Evolution in the development of materials has created three generations of self-lubrication liner technology.

Today's materials represent a significant advance in technology and their increased capabilities offer solutions in applications previously judged to be borderline or beyond material capability.
