Structural & Marine
Marine bearings and tubing that resist seawater, salt, and corrosion.
Design better performance into your next project.
Polygon has the industry expertise to provide engineered solutions for marine bearing and tubing applications that stand up to corrosion and exposure. Composite bearings and tubes perform in saltwater and other wet conditions with negligible absorption rates that provide near-zero swell. Polygon composite bearings are designed to eliminate absorption and corrosion in water conditions—unlike metal or nylon components. Leading boat and outboard engine manufacturers trust Polygon to deliver bearings that meet the increasing performance standards of today’s marine equipment.
Potential Applications
Outboard motors
Inboard motors
Hydraulic cylinder mounting
Trim and tilt pivot locations
Marine cranes and davits
Winches
Rudder systems
Underwater 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
Electrical insulation is required
