Low friction lightweight
thermoplastic composite bearing
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions launched a lightweight
thermoplastic composite bearing, the HiMod Advanced
Composite Bearing Plus, an enhanced dual-layer
bearing with a low-friction modified PEEK layer that
reduces friction and increases wear performance for
use in bearing, wear ring, and bushing applications.
Manufactured using Trelleborg’s patented Automated
Fiber Placement (AFP) technology, a thin low friction
liner is bonded to the inner diameters and can be added
to the outer diameters of the bearing to create a
high-quality solution for use in a wide range of industries.
HiMod Advanced Composite Bearing Plus will not
seize or gall, unlike metal bearings, has a low coefficient
of friction, and can withstand extreme temperature
ranges.

SSI SCHAEFER
Awarded as ÖKOPROFIT company
Protecting the environment and climate, reducing operating
costs, and optimally preparing one's company
for the challenges of the future - this is the basic idea
of ÖKOPROFIT, a German cooperation project between
municipalities, local business and local partners.
After a year of intensive testing and consulting by the
expert network, the participating companies, including
SSI Schaefer/Fritz Schäfer at the Neunkirchen site,
received their awards in June.
The award as an ÖKOPROFIT company now confirms
that the company has a practicable and efficient environmental
management system at its headquarters
in Neunkirchen. The environmental program set up
by SSI Schaefer includes measures such as reinvesting
in an energy-efficient compressor station, replacing
diesel-powered forklifts with electric forklifts
and switching the energy supply to green electricity.
