    ADVANCED COMPOSITE BEARINGS & WEAR PARTS

    FOR HYDRO POWER


    TENMAT is a leading manufacturer of
    specialised, high performance engineering
    materials and components with over 100
    years of experience.

    TENMAT stands for innovation, safety,


    commitment to our customers and the latest
    quality standards worldwide.

    A World of Materials
    The diversified product range includes composite
    wear parts and bearings, engineering ceramics,
    high temperature resistant materials, and passive
    fire protection solutions.

    Commitment to Quality
    TENMAT operates an ISO 9001:2008 Quality
    Management System for the design, development and
    manufacture of specialised high performance
    engineering materials and components.
    Key Benefits of TENMAT Bearings:
     Long Life
     Improved Performance
     Reduced Stick Slip
     High Resistance to Abrasive
    Environments
     Corrosion Free
     Self-Lubricating
     Low Noise

    The ability of TENMAT bearings to work in both dry and wet conditions without

    grease or lubrication makes them the ideal choice for the hydropower industry.

    Both FEROFORM T814 and FEROGLIDE bearings have extensive references and are
    used around the world in bearing and wear strip applications. TENMAT works with

    some of the biggest names in hydro. TENMAT has provided solutions for new hydro

    plants and refurbished thousands of plants worldwide.

    Hydro Bearing Applications for TENMAT Materials:


     Control Linkage Bearings  Segmental Shaft Seals
     Main Shaft Guide Bearings  Kaplan Hub Bearings
     Operating Ring Bearings  Guide Vane Bearings
    FEROFORM T814
    TENMAT FEROFORM T814 is a composite made of a woven synthetic fibre and
    phenolic resin, with PFTE uniformly impregnated as a friction reducing modifier.

    FEROFORM T814 was designed specifically for the hydro power industry as a self-
    lubricating, high strength bearing material to replace greased bronze. PTFE as an
    additive enables FEROFORM T814 to operate both wet and dry.

    Key Features:
     Self lubricating & thus will operate without external lubrication
     Free from stick slip, giving easy movement & operation
     High wear resistance
     Low water swell, allowing the possibility for tight design tolerances
     High resistance to abrasive environments
     Low friction coefficient due to PTFE impregnation
     Lightweight compared to bronze which allows easy installation

    Key Benefits:
     Increased Bearing Life  Customized, Bespoke Solutions
     Large Application Range  Proven Performance Over Decades
     Reduced Maintenance  Can be used in dirty, sandy waters
     No need for grease or oil  Can be used in misaligned systems
     Improved Performance
    FEROGLIDE
    TENMAT FEROGLIDE bearings are a proprietary self-lubricating material of woven
    PTFE fibres applied to a metal backing. Also available is our innovative fabric-free
    lining with a unique low friction coating.

    FEROGLIDE bearings are ideally suited for turbine guide vane assemblies and
    actuators accommodating the high surface pressures involved.

    Key Features:
     Self lubricating & thus will operate without external lubrication
     Free from stick slip, giving easy movement & operation
     High wear resistance
     Large operating temperature range -200oC to +300oC
     Corrosion resistant & can be used with aggressive liquids such as Sea Water,
    Gasoline, Acids, Detergent Solutions, Hydraulic Oils, Ammonium Hydroxide, Oils
     High strength, capable of carrying high loads

    Key Benefits:
     Increased Bearing Life  Customized, Bespoke Solutions
     Large Application Range  Proven Performance Over Decades
     Reduced Maintenance  Excellent Chemical Resistance
     Significantly Reduced Downtime  Worldwide Distribution
     Improved Performance
    Shown below are bearing and wear strip applications in Francis turbines, for
    FEROFORM T814 and FEROGLIDE.
    Shown below are bearing and wear strip applications in Kaplan turbines, for
    FEROFORM T814 and FEROGLIDE.
    Main Shaft Bearings
    FEROFORM T814 bearings provide
    long life and high strength in water
    lubricated main shafts. They can be
    supplied as 2-piece split bearings.

    Lock Gate Bearings


    FEROFORM T814 bearings and wear
    strips provide low friction, high wear and
    long life in pintles and hinges of lock
    gates.

    Radial Gate Bearings


    FEROFORM T814 bearings are
    supplied as trunnion bearings due to
    their high compressive strength, self-
    lubrication and resistance to stick-slip.

    Vertical Gate Bearings


    FEROFORM T814 wheel roller bearings
    and sliding pads are used due to their
    low friction, high compressive strength
    and ability to work both wet and dry

    Wicket Gate Bearings


    FEROGLIDE and FEROFORM T814
    bearings provide self-lubrication, long TENMAT
    life and the ability to work wet and dry Bearings
    as wicket gate bearings.
    The US Army Corps of Engineers tested self-lubricating bearing materials for hydro
    power turbines, witht the objective of replacing greased bronze bearings.
    FEROFORM T814 was tested against an elastomeric plastic, an alternative
    composite and bronze. The results below show that FEROFORM T814 maintains
    lower wear rates and lower friction coefficients that the alternative materials tested.
