deva.tex® is a self-lubricating, fiber reinforced composite bearing material which is produced using a special winding technology. The base material ensures high strength, while the sliding layer contains special non-abrasive fibers and solid lubricants which ensure excellent tribological properties even in damp environments or in the event of edge loads. The solid lubricants were developed to give extremely low coefficients of friction and wear rates.

Reference applications

Water turbines, hydrocivil engineering, agricultural machines, earth moving equip ment, railroad vehicles, shut-off valves, chemical industry, apparatus engineering, wind turbines

• has very low coefficient of friction

• is stick-slip-free

• offer a high margin of safety against mating material damage

• is utilizable in corrosive environments

• does not absorb water and guarantees maximum dimensional accuracy

• has good shock load capacity due to good damping behavior

• is suitable for micro movements
