Structural Bearings
The science of managing very heavy load movement requires special understanding.
Utilising our range of Fluorinoid® materials, we provide load-bearing and skidway solutions to the construction and oil & gas industries.
In addition to our product offering, we provide our extensive experience in on-site installation support whilst training and knowledge sharing with your engineers
Our Product Range
-
Fluoroglide® PTFE Skidways
At Fluorocarbon we have acquired a worldwide reputation for the design and manufacture of bonded PTFE/metallic Fluoroglide® skidway plates based on the proven PTFE slide bearing technology.
-
Fluoroglide® High-Temperature Bearings
Specific bearing assemblies are available for flare stack installation when high service temperatures are anticipated.
-
Offshore Bridge Bearings
Typical assembly consists of a Lower Plate with reinforced Fluorinoid® PTFE FL129 which can be either surface mounted or recessed for high bearing pressure.
-
Fluoroglide® Subsea Bearing Sliding Pads
The bearing is used between the equipment mounting plate and mud mat, which was a rigid
structure fixed to the sea bed to prevent stress on the pipeline
-
Fluoroglide® Subsea Bearing Sleeper Pads
The bearings prevent friction and wear on the applications which would cause damage where they
have to cross over existing pipes and power cables. -
Elastomeric Bearings
The bearings help extend the life of bridges by reducing wear and tear on bridge materials.
-
Fluoroglide® Slide Bearings
Fluoroglide® PTFE slide bearings are implemented to solve problems of a structure that moves as a result of thermal, seismic or differential force.
-
Fluoroglide® Pot Bearings
Fluorocarbon supplies PTFE plain and dimpled inserts to leading manufacturers of pot bearings for road and bridge applications.
-
Clamp Pads
We supply FL491 JT Support Clamp Bearing Pads of varying dimensions to suit the clamp loadings and monopile diameter.
