Hydroelectric

A key component in any hydropower application is the bearing. 

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of self-lubricating bearings for the hydropower market.

Trelleborg’s proprietary Orkot® Hydro Bearings are manufactured from Orkot® TLMM and Orkot® TXMM,  materials that incorporate woven fabric reinforcement and solid lubricants within a thermosetting resin matrix.

Orkot® TXMM bearings run completely dry and have excellent wear characteristics, reduce friction and are non-toxic. 

Both Orkot® materials can also be utilized in water, water-based fluids, oil or grease-lubricated applications.
