Abrasive
Resistant
FEROFORM composites are extremely versatile materials, having
very good abrasive resistance capability. FEROFORM can be used
in environments where abrasive particles are present, like sea
water with high amount of sand & silt, raw water etc.
Independent laboratory test & suggest that high amount of
abrasive foreign debris had no effect on the FEROFORM bearing &
on the shaft.
Low Friction
FEROFORM is compounded with internal lubricants to produce a
material with a low coefficient offriction. This low friction is
maintained even when lubrication or water is not present.
FEROFORM low friction applies not only under laboratory test
conditions, but also under actual operating conditions.
Stick-slip does not occur with FEROFORM bearings even if pumps
have been in standby mode for long periods of time without
operating. This can reduce the requirement to prime bearings
before starting a pump. This is critically important for
emergency type pumps such as fire pumps, settler pumps and flood
pumps. |

Dry Running Capabilities
Pump bearings often need to withstand dry running for short
intervals, for example at start up or if the pump inlet becomes
blocked. FEROFORM internal lubricants provide a very low
friction even when lubrication is not present.
Many bearing materials operate well under well lubricated
situations, but fail when lubrication is not
FEROFORM can survive operating conditions where lubrication is
delayed or intermittent without damaging the bearing.
Low wear, Low swell
FEROFORM does not swell or soften in water, where as most
synthetic materials swell in water. FEROFORM bearings can be
machined accurately to size they maintain these sizes even when
immersed.
Close clearances can be maintained, reducing vibration and shaft
run out.Large clearences should be avoided because:
• Bearing wear rate increases
• Bearing life is shortened
• Shaft vibration increases, making the shaft less stable.
