ACM Marine - bearings specifically formulated for marine environments...

At ACM, we have developed a range of advanced composites materials. These are fibre reinforced plastic laminates, ideally suited to highly loaded bearing applications in a variety of environments. Our current customer base is very extensive, ranging from forklift truck manufacturers to nuclear power generation; food processing to pharmeceuticals. L2 Marine has classification society approvals, and ACM Bearings Ltd are <a href="http://www.iso.ch/" target="_blank" title="Visit the website...">ISO</a> 9001:2000 approved. The material is available in tube and sheet form, as well as in fully finished components to customer or ACM drawings. &nbsp L2 Marine Grade L2 Marine has been specifically formulated for marine environment applications. It is ideally suited to the operating conditions and working environment of rudder and pintle bushes, which can be either water, oil or grease lubricated, or be operating under dry conditions. The material is a high load composite bearing material made of synthetic fabric reinforcement which is impregnated with a thermosetting resin and solid lubricant fillers (molybdenum disulphide & ptfe). L2 Marine has approval with Lloyd's Register of Shipping for use as a synthetic rudder bearing material, for a bearing pressure of 5.5Nmm-2 under wet and dry conditions, and for a bearing pressure of 10Nmm-2 under wet and dry conditions. ACM is also a Germanischer Lloyd approved manufacturer of rudder and pintle bearing bushes in L2 Marine under wet and dry conditions. ABS, DNV and many other approvals are pending. The material is grey in colour and is available in tube and sheet form, as well as in fully finished components to customer or ACM drawings. The material is manufactured to documented procedures and propriety standards. Certificates of conformance can be issued and full traceability is kept for 5 years.
