Maximising Marine efficiency
with Tenmat's bearings

Feroform and Railko bearings work with any type of water, run with smaller clearances than elastomeric bearings, are dimensionally and thermally more stable, and have superior wear resistance.

Independent tests confirm that Tenmat materials have a significantly better wear resistance than elastomeric and polyester/polyester bearing materials from our major competitors. Thus providing ship owners with up to 4 times longer service life and lower operating costs.
