Tenmat Feroform T814
Tenmat Feroform T814 is part of the Tenmat range of high-performance composite (thermoset resin / fibre-reinforced) plain bearings and wear pads — non-metallic, self-lubricating and water-lubricated bearing materials. The closest Bushingo/Metafram analogue is Metagliss self-lubricating composite friction plates for high-load, dry-running sliding-pad and structural applications. Where a buyer needs a rotary maintenance-free bush, the Metafram BP25 (oil-impregnated sintered bronze) is the metallic equivalent, though Feroform is chosen instead when corrosion, water immersion, non-metallic requirements or very high edge loads rule out sintered metal. Cross-refers to competitor composites such as Thordon, Orkot (Trelleborg) and Deva composite bearings.
