Railko RG22 at a glance
Railko RG22 has very low stick-slip which provides smooth operation and testing to DNV specification has shown it to give the longest wear life when compared to other composite materials, rubber and bronze.
- Excellent wear characteristics
- Very low stick-slip
- Cost effective
Applications
Railko RG22 can be pressed into housings or freeze-fitted using liquid nitrogen. Bearings can be produced for shafts up to 1000mm in diameter and typically with 6 mm allowances on the diameter and 50mm in length to allow for machining at shipyards.
