FEROFORM bearings offer ship owners, shipyards, and marine designers considerable benefits in terms of performance, price, design, ease of use, and availability.
The excellent water stability and resilience of FEROFORM grades make them ideal materials for the marine industry in arduous, abrasive, and sand laden waters.
Merchant fleets around the world use FEROFORM T14 bushes for their stern tube bearing and rudder bearing applications. High specification Naval applications use FEROFORM T12. Bearings are supplied as plain bearings and as staves.
FEROFORM F3637 is used for tank insulation pads for asphalt, sulphur, and bitumen carriers.
FEROFORM F3637 has a combination of high insulation, high strength, and controlled friction that means the tanks can expand freely without damage when the tanks are filled and emptied. No maintenance is needed when using the pads.
Other applications include hatch cover pads, cutter head bearings, slipway pads, capstans, davit bearings, winches, anchor sheave bushes, derricks.
