With a maximum operating temperature of 150°F, the material is available in a variety of sleeve bearing configurations to suit industrial applications such as service water pumps, utility sump pumps, sewage treatment agitators, hydraulic turbines, rotating washers, and traveling water screens. The environmentally friendly material also permits tight bearing-to-shaft clearances for improved rotor stability and reduced vibration levels. Tough, hard, and resilient, it is especially suitable for continuous operation when submerged in liquids containing abrasives such as sand, raw water, and sewage.
