Composites are lubricated completely throughout the bearing and have no fiberglass or metallic shell. The ability to make a material that has no abrasive fillers or reinforcements allows MCPR to provide a product that will not damage the shaft material, and risk equipment failure due to abrasive contact surfaces. How can we help? Let's Talk
Reliability through Superior Quality MCPR supplies value-added fabricated components made from composites.
- Material Engineering
- Innovated Designs
- Testing Lab
- Finish parts up to 65-inch diameters
Composites materials do not contain toxic or harmful materials. Composites is self-lubricating, therefore eliminates the need to introduce external lubricants such as greases which can be carried away by water or heat. Composite bearings can be designed for freeze-fit, press-fit, mechanically fasten, or bonding.
Wear Rings
One Team wear rings can be manufactured to customer’s specifications or our experts can provide recommendations. They are designed with a specific gap allowing the material to expand without seizing in the cylinder.
The recommended gap considers the rate of thermal expansion and is best determined according to the OD of the wear ring.
Bearings
(ID) grooved bearings are environmentally friendly and ideal in fresh or salt water environments. The axial grooves running down the ID surface provide water flow and lubrication to the bearing allowing for high speed applications and provide a hydrodynamic operation for long life and very low friction.
Rudder, Stern Tubes, Propeller Shaft, Fin Stabilizers, Thrusters, Crane Masks, Winches, skidding Pads, Stern Pads
Bushings
Composite plane bearings, also known as bushings, journal bearings, sleeve bearings, or plain bearings, are a cost effective and ideal replacement for bronze components.

Pads
Wear Pads or low coefficient of friction, dimensional stability, and impact toughness of the CIP material offers excellent performance in many wear pad installations.
Segmented Wear Pads or environmentally friendly, self-lubricating wear pads can be machined in segments to provide axial and radial support for larger diameter installations.
Structural
The application of composites as structural materials has grown continuously during the last 50 years.
Composites unique combination of low density, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, durability, and strength as well as toughness enables them to be applied in large number of fields.
Composites can be engineered to work according to our requirements.
Electric
Electrical Insulators
Non-graphite material that is both a non-conducting and non-magnetic composite material that can be used as an insulator.
Thermal Insulation
Material grades that have dimensional stability in elevated temperatures up to 400° and functions as insulators, reducing the transfer of heat.
Galvanic Isolation
Non-conducting materials that will not corrode, eliminating galvanic corrosion caused by the contact of dissimilar metals and alloys.
