CLEVITE TRIARMOUR SBC 400 MAIN BEARING SET

Description

TriArmour Series
Bearings

The
exclusive Clevite TriArmor
engine bearings feature the
industry’s only moly/graphite
treatment. This sophisticated
blend, in a low friction PTFe
polymer base, offers
extraordinary protection and
lubricity. enhanced wear
characteristics increase
bearing life in race engines
and high performance street
engines.

Now, high
performance engine builders
can enjoy the strength and
durability of the legendary
Clevite TriMetal bearing
construction coupled with the
latest in coating technology
– right out of the box.

The line of Clevite TriArmor
rod and main bearings include
popular Ford, GM and Chrysler
models as well as popular
Sport Compact applications.

Exclusive
Moly/Graphite Treatment

For years,
engine builders have
experimented with coating
engine bearings for race
engines and high performance
street engines, with varying
degrees of success. Now,
Mahle Clevite engineers,
after extensive research and
development, have devised
TriArmor, a proprietary blend
of molybdenum disulfide
(MoS2) and graphite all
carried in an inert polymer
substrate.

Central to
this breakthrough is the
exclusive use of graphite and
unique application and low
temperature cure processes.
These processes provide
extremely uniform thickness
coupled with unparalleled
adhesion, all while
protecting the metallurgical
integrity of the bearing
during the coating procedure.

The result? A
thin protective coating that
offers:

• Reduced friction and drag,
  resulting in increased
  horsepower
• Protection
  during start-up
• embedability to resist damage
  from debris
• Ability
  to withstand extreme
  temperatures and pressures
• Conformability for
  distressed or imperfect
  surfaces
• extraordinary strength and
  durability

TriArmor Features
& Benefits

In developing TriArmor
materials and processing,
MAHLE Clevite engineers
relied on the science of
Tribology, the study of
design, friction, wear, and
lubrication characteristics
of interacting surfaces. With
our existing body of
knowledge based on decades of
producing bearings for street
and track, this model enabled
us to produce the most
advanced and efficient
coating material possible.
The PTFE carrier material
gives good low load start-up
protection. The moly serves
as a high pressure, high load
dry film anti-wear agent.
Graphite provides additional
protection across a broad
range of temperatures,
especially when oil flow is
marginal and is especially
slippery with an oil film.
