Since 1905, Woodex has been manufacturing bearings made from rock maple with petrolatum wax for use in wet / dry screw and roll conveying machinery in agricultural, manufacturing & refurbishing applications. It is headquartered in Georgetown, Maine, USA. Traditionally, Woodex bearings cover any incoming sand or grit with an oil film by compressing themselves and absorbing the pollutant into their surface. When an attached shaft spins, the bearings interface heats up to release lubricants and when the shaft stops, the interface cools down to retrieve the lubricant into the bearing. This process ensures that Woodex bearings become permanently lubricated. Woodex catalogue includes screw conveyor hanger bearings, roll end bearings, spherical bearings, auger bearings and more. The brand's MECO 3120 hanger bearings are made from ceramic-filled PTFE for combing the wear resistance of ceramics with PTFE's dry lubrication. They have a low coefficient of friction, high-temperature capabilities, malleability and toughness for use in both wet and dry environments.
