Construction

Construction equipment bearings help operators stay productive while reducing maintenance costs.

Design better performance into your next project.

Polygon composite bearings are self-lubricating and maintenance-free—delivering the load capacity, low friction, and corrosion resistance that construction and heavy equipment manufacturers demand. Leading equipment manufacturers and their Tier-1 suppliers rely on Polygon bearing assemblies to deliver the performance demanded by the construction industry.

Potential Applications

Excavators

Mini & micro excavators

Bulldozers

Backhoes

Skid steers

Wheel loaders

Mining equipment

Articulating joints

Cylinder base and rod ends

Cylinder movement pivot points

When should you use Polygon Composites?

Self-lubrication is required

Bearing neglect could lead to product liability claims or premature failure

Maintenance costs need to be closely monitored

Stick-slip conditions exist

High load capacities are needed

Resistance to chemical, galvanic or fretting-related corrosion is a problem

Galling and scoring need to be minimized

Polygon demonstrates a sense of urgency on items on a tight timeline.

Also, their components are durable which has led to co-development across our organizations. The collaboration across both teams has been important for us as well.

With Polygon, there is an ease of collaboration and communication.

Additionally, their material technology is good. I’ve seen other PTFE bearings where the adhesives were not fully validated, but everything we’ve seen from Polygon has met or exceeded our expectations.
