Machined Products

The types of product we create are as follows:
• Pads/Washers -

Pads:- The wear pads are used in Slide bearings, conveyor guides, scrapers and friction plates; predominantly used in the Textiles, Food and Rail Industries.

Washers:-The above thrust washers are used as lubricated spacers between the bush and application, the hard wearing nature of this material offers a long life and cost effective method of lubrication and protection.

• Rings/Self Aligning Bearings -

Tufcot wear rings of fabric composite materials are used in Hydraulic Cylinders which are subject to high loads such as can occur in mobile hydraulics and press construction. The high compressive strength, good sliding behavior and the exceptional wear resistance properties ensure a long life service.

Tufcot Guide bands are made from a fabric reinforced polyester resin engineered for high performance as guide bands or wear strips. A very high compressive strength of 50,000 psi makes Tufcot the superior choice for those tough applications where high side loadings or mis-alignment are present. Unlike many other composite materials, Tufcot will not fracture under excessive loading, making it perfect for applications which experience high shock loading or high edge loading.

• Bushes/Bearings -

Tufcot bushes are fabric composite materials of fine weave plastic fabrics impregnated with special thermo setting polyester resins. In order to improve their mechanical properties - in particular the friction coefficient - the resin is mixed with additives. Due to the wide range of materials with different mechanical and chemical properties they are applicable to a large number of specific applications.

• Solid Rods -

We also produce solid rods which come in varying sizes. Please contact us for more details on rod sizes.
