We don't think you should change to another shaft bearing just because it's new.
We think you should change because it's better.
Over ten years of trials have proven Thordon better than conventional materials — so much better that you can't afford to overlook it on your next refit.
Better than rubber, because Thordon has its own built-in-lubricants — it runs quietly at low speeds and can even run dry for short periods without damage.
Better than phenolic, because thordon is abrasion-resistant and doesn't need kid-glove handling during installation or operation. It literally absorbs pounding and keeps on running.
Smoothly.
Better than wood in every way. And Thordon raw stock is available for machining to size in over 50 countries around the world.
Get all the facts on Thordon before you make any decision on shaft bearing refits.
Not because it's the most modern bearing material available.
But because it's the best.
Hiorflnri IT UIORKS HARD. VOU RE5T EASY.
