Custom self-lubricating bearings
Columbia Industrial Products (CIP) manufactures CIP Composites that are self-lubricating, composite bearing, and wear materials. Specific to the hydropower industry is CIP Hydro Composites, which are being utilized as sleeve/flange bearings, wear pads, and thrust washers. CIP Hydro is a long lasting, wear resistant bearing material that can aid in eliminating complex lubrication systems while reducing the frequency of undesired replacements. As a composite material, CIP Hydro has high-load, high-impact capabilities while remaining lightweight and corrosion-resistant. CIP Hydro composites offer low co-efficient of friction, negligible moisture absorption, and great dimensional stability in wet and dry environments. It is a 100% bearing material with high-edge load and shock load capabilities. CIP Hydro is custom-designed to specifications, and can be utilized as wicket gate bearings, pump bearings, main operating ring wear pads, and more.
