Custom Composite Bearings
The physical properties of CIP Composites™ make it an excellent wear and bearing material for the hydro industry. As a general guide, this 100% bearing material is best suited for high load, high impact and slow rotating applications. Either new builds or refurbished, CIP Hydro™ composite bearings and wear pads are great replacements for your current bronze or rubber applications.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has listed CIP Hydro™ as approved materials for hydro projects.
