KAron and KAtherm self-lubricating bearings, with over 25 years of successful experience, are known for high performance and low wear rates. KAron and KAtherm are high load, low friction self-lubricating liner systems that resist swelling and are machineable.

KAron and KAtherm systems are qualified to demanding military specifications (SAE AS81820, SAE AS81934, MIL-B-8943 and SAE AS81819). KAron and KAtherm bearings are used in thousands of locations in commercial and military aircraft, helicopters, submarines and surface ships, space vehicles, and hydroelectric power plants, as well as in selected industrial applications. KAron and KAtherm are homogeneous self-lubricating liner systems incorporating PTFE particles in polyester thermosetting resin-based materials, which can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements.

The unique KAron and KAtherm bearing systems offer an innovative alternative to traditional lubricated/self lubricated bearings, providing superior performance and life cycle benefits.
