Trimetal Bearings

PBW Bearings specializes in advanced trimetal bearings, designed with a three-layer construction to deliver superior performance in the most challenging conditions. The robust structure features a steel backing for structural strength, a copper or bronze middle layer for exceptional load capacity, and a low-friction alloy surface to minimize wear. This innovative design ensures durability and reliability, even under extreme pressure and heat, making our bearings the ideal choice for high-load, high-speed applications. Wherever performance matters, our bearings are ever required.

PBW trimetallic bearings are designed according to the application or customer required material layers, which usually consist of a running layer (soft, anti-friction material) having greater conformability, compatibility, and embeddability , a middle layer (anti-friction material) to provide support to running layer, and a backing layer (hard, wear-resistant material). This design combines the advantages of different materials to provide enhanced performance in demanding applications. The main advantages of trimetallic bearings in applications include excellent wear resistance and increased service life, more evenly distributing the applied load over the surface, reducing the risk of localized wear and damage, protecting the bearing from corrosion and degradation due to exposure to harsh environments, reducing friction with high load capacity, and providing a cost-effective solution in high-speed or high-torque machinery.
