TCP-250 Teflon-Cladded Bearing Pad

Dam Infrastructure

Teflon-Cladded Bearing Pad - TCP-250

The TCP-250 Teflon-Cladded Bearing Pad combines high-strength elastomeric rubber core with precision-bonded PTFE (Teflon) sliding surface, engineered for dam gate support systems and heavy structural applications. These bearing pads provide ultra-low friction movement while supporting extreme loads, ensuring smooth gate operation and extended mechanism life. Each pad undergoes load testing and surface flatness inspection to guarantee optimal performance in critical infrastructure projects.
