THE SUPERCLAD OPTION

Many customers require special bearing sizes at short notice. To meet this need, we offer the option of “Superclad” bearings, which are produced to order in practically any wall thickness.

What's Involved? The outside of a bearing with a suitable inside diameter is wound with a cloth membrane and impregnated with epoxy compound until the desired outside diameter is built up. Left to cure overnight, the Superclad bearing is ready for machining and despatch the next day. The resulting bearing, encased in a high strength reinforced Superclad jacket, has an extremily strong final structure, combined with the good bearing properties of Vesconite on the inside.
