Fabreeka-PTFE Pads

Fabreeka-PTFE Bearing Pads are comprised of the original fabric reinforced elastomeric pad developed by Fabreeka in 1936 and PTFE. The unique PTFE bearing pad uses the Teflon surface in expansion bearing & pipe slide applications. Fabreeka-PTFE Pads also accommodate construction irregularities, such as rotation and non-parallel load bearing surfaces, whilst each PTFE surface provides a sliding surface to accommodate expansion. In pipe slide applications, where temperatures are high, the PTFE (Teflon) surface provides a layer of insulation for the Fabreeka Pad. PTFE can be exposed to 200°C (~ 400°F) while Fabreeka Pad is limited to 100°C (~220°F). The PTFE also allows for the pipe to expand/contract within the clamp by providing a low coefficient of friction.
