Heceta Head Lighthouse, Florence, Oregon
In 2013, Heceta Head Lighthouse decided to remove and replace the old, worn-out friction rollers and bronze bearings that had seized up in the wheels. CIP Composite bearings and thrust washers were used throughout the lighthouse, including the main shaft guide, leveler wheels, and the Sun Gear. The use of CIP Composite material eliminated the need for lubrication and stopped loud squeaking noise caused by the bronze material.
