LUBRON TF
SPHERICAL BEARING APPLICATIONS

LUBRON TF multi-rotational spherical bearings have been performing flawlessly in a

variety of rigorous structural applications for more than 25 years. LUBRON TF PTFE spherical
bearings are designed to accommodate sliding, rotation and severe angular misalignment and
can withstand loads in excess of 60 ksi without cold flow.
Applications include highway bridges, railroad bridges, pedestrian bridges, light rail transit,
seismic isolation, offshore oil platforms, airports, sports arenas, convention centers, air
pollution control equipment, power plants, processing plants, heavy machinery and equipment.
LUBRON TF PTFE spherical bearings provide exceptionally low coefficient of friction and
heavy load capability, and are fabricated, tested and inspected in accordance with the latest
ASTM, AASHTO and State DOT standards, plans, and specifications.
For further details, contact RBC LUBRON BEARING SYSTEMS.
