We manufacture self lubricated high performance PTFE Structural load bearings, Slide bearings, Support bearings. Our bearings are designed to accommodate unidirectional and omni directional sliding movement in a single plan and to a limited angular misalignment caused by the thermal expansion, seismic or differential forces encountered by high winds.

PTFE slide bearings are superior to conventional expansion plates, rollers and rocker arm type supports in many ways.
