CIP Composites Tube Sheet

CIP Composites are available in tubes or sheets made to your specification. CIP Composites are readily machinable by conventional machining techniques. As a general guide they may be treated as bronze, but machined (dry) without coolant. CIP materials are non-toxic, although it is advisable to use adequate dust extraction when machining

CIP Composites are commonly used to replace more traditional bronze, babbitt, nylon and wood bearing materials. Ideally suited for high load, slow speed applications, CIP Composites are designed to operate without external lubrication, and offer smooth, quiet performance. CIP Composites offers higher load capacity and better dimensional stability than many other nonmetallic materials. When high strength, low friction and wear are important, CIP is the clear choice.

After trimming to correct length each exposed end is visually inspected for de-lamination. Measurements of inner diameter, outer diameter and lengths are performed to ensure material is suitable for machine work and secondary operations.

Minimum Bore 1/2 in.

Maximum Bore 100 in.

Standard Lengths 16 in. – 24 in. – 32 in.

Cip Composite INDUSTRIAL MARKET

Industrial applications can be found in many industries and range from hydraulic cylinders to heavy duty equipment. Many industrial applications are in harsh environments including dirt and mud, chemicals, a range of temperatures, and hard to reach locations, making maintenance a challenge. Equipment down time for maintenance and repairs can be detrimental to the industry.

CIP Composites offers solutions for rigorous industrial applications by extending wear life while reducing or eliminating external lubricants and undesired maintenance. As a general guide, CIP Composite bushing materials can replace your current bronze or nylon based wear and bearing materials. Sold in tubes or sheets for easy machining onsite, or custom manufactured with short lead times.
