“ETERNUM D-GLIDE is the safest composite bearing in the world. It is your best option to guarantee an extensive life-span of your installation, even under harsh condition (such as heavy-load), without any form of maintenance”

Composite bearings properties and benefits

self-lubricated : no maintenance/lubrication required
very high load capacity (up to 355 MPA)
ultra-resistant to wear thanks to its synthetic fiber
low friction coefficients (down to 0,04 in dry-run contidions)

Mechanical properties of ETERNUM D-GLIDE F grade :

Compressive strength	355MPA (=N/mm²)
Wear	Extremely resistant to wear
Self-lubricated (polytetrafluoroethylene-Teflon), graphite, or molybdenum)	Runs dry or immersed or patially submerged, with or without additionnal lubricant
Friction coefficient	Between 0,04 and 0,12 (in dry run conditions)

Catalogue

Eternum D-Glide pieces are normally delivered tailor-made for your application, ready to be mounted. They come in shape of bushings, plain bearings with or without flange, washers, pads, pivot bearings, spherical bearings. We can also provide raw material in tubes and sheets, thanks to our large stock in France. Raw material comes at an extra cost, to be preferred for urgent/emergency cases.

Our engineers will systematically help you to size, to select your grades, to calculate the running clearances, and mounting methods.

Our pieces come in all sorts of size and shape, please consult us!

Applications

Eternum Composites are used in thousands of applications worldwide. We are historically used in near-water heavy applications, but the technical properties of our composite materials makes them interesting for many inland industries as well (pumping, lifting, guiding, insulating, etc).
