Pump Bearings, Tenmat- Feroform
Feroform self lubrication bearings from Tenmat Ltd, the UKbased manufacturer, are made of materials that have proved their durability in pumps and have become the first choice fitment for both OEM and user refurbishment, replacing bronze lignum vitae, rubber carbon and elastomeric bearings. Feroform, a Fit & Forget type self/water lubricated bearing is widely used in vertical and horizontal pumps in fire fighter and service water pumps, fire fighting and service water pumps, high pressure bilge pumps for submarines, cooling water pumps for power stations, irrigation and portable water pumps, high pressure dewatering pumps for underground mines, sewage purification plant pumps, vacuum pumps and sea water pumps. Feroform bearings have some unique advantages like very low water swell, suitable for sea water and abrasive working conditions, high temperature withstanding capability up to 100 to 110°C, good dry running capability, resistant to chemical and has very low shaft wear. They have low thermal expansion that is, they can run with very close running that gives less clearance. The vibration of the bearing increases the life of shaft and bearing and increases the efficiency of pump. The bearings have very low co-efficient of friction of pump and are easy to handle and fit.
