Trelleborg Pushes Boundaries of Composite Technology

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has launched Orkot® C620, an innovative ultra-low friction bearing material with five times the compressive strength of other Orkot materials for applications across all market sectors including off-highway.

Orkot® C620’s high-specification thermoset composite meets the requirements of the most demanding applications and though strong and light can withstand high loads and stresses over a long service life, says the company.

"Featuring a strong glass fiber backing with a low-friction Orkot® lining, it builds upon regular Orkot® composite formulations with a unique compound where the properties of the different layers increase load capacity and strength. It does this without compromising weight while reducing friction and eliminating maintenance to maximize efficiency and service life." said Mark Hampton, Product and Innovations Manager at Trelleborg.
