Poly-Round® bearings from CBT partner Timken are plane bearings that are made of high-performance bearing-grade polymer materials or specialty metal alloys. The material incorporates lubricity into its composition, allowing the unit to operate as a bearing without any grease (class III bearings). Because the bearing does not require grease, the use of seals or shields is eliminated. Poly-Round Plus features an anti-rotation pin that allows installation into most housings.
