Skidway Systems & Slide Bearings

Beldam Crossley has been moulding PTFE for over half a century. We have since developed a wide range of High Performance Crossflon® materials, each suited to a specific application. Hence, this has enabled us to become one of the market leaders in providing skidway system & slide bearing solutions to the oil & gas, petrochemical and construction industries.

Advantages of Skidway Systems & Slide Bearings

  • Crossflon® PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid engineered material including lubricated metal and there is no stick / slip action.
  • Crossflon® XF225 is unaffected by water as the moisture absorption is less than 0.01%.
  • The life of Crossflon® XF225 is indefinite as it is unaffected by chemicals and weather.
    Not subject to fatigue failure.
  • Ease of installation.
    Shear value of the bond exceeds that of
  • Crossflon® PTFE.
    Far less bulky than alternative assemblies.
  • Operating temperature ranges from -40oC to +120oC. Alternative bonding sytems are available for temperatures outside this range.
  • Maintenance is not required. Capable of operating completely dry as Crossflon® XF225 will never cold weld to itself.
  • Provides electrical and thermal insulation thereby minimising galvanic corrosion and heat loss.
  • Vibration dampening.
    Able to absorb small particles without increasing the coefficient of friction.
  • Crossflon® XF225 is chemically inert.
    Able to accommodate minor misalignment during construction.

Skidway Systems

Crossflon® skidway systems are used to aid the skidding of topsides, jackets and other heavy fabrications. A structure weighing in excess of 47,000 tonnes has been successfully loaded out on a Crossflon® skidway system.
