Kamatics bearings are made with karon™ self-lubricating liners, available in a range of varieties
Our liners differ significantly from other self-lubricating materials in that there are no continuous interconnecting fibers or weave that can provide a moisture path to the bonding substrate. A moisture path can promote corrosion under the liner or significant liner swelling when used in a moisture-laden environment.
