Our purpose is to commercialize tribology, material sciences and mechanical dynamics, as specifically applied to advanced bearings and flywheel energy storage products.

Working closely with machine manufacturers and end users, Tribology Systems, Inc. (TSI) has provided solutions to many costly bearing problems.

If you have a nagging problem with bearing life in your equipment, please call us.

TSI can help your machine run faster, hotter, and last longer, even in extreme environmental conditions.

TSI bearing technology enables a machinery application that previously was not commercially viable -- Flywheel Batteries.

Flywheels can deliver significant benefits to the home, industry and environment.

TSI is leading the charge to commercialize this innovative technology.

Based on his experience as a researcher and consultant in bearing technology and lubrication, Mr. Lewis Sibley founded Tribology Systems, Inc. in 1989 to commercialize advanced bearing technologies.

TSI holds 7 patents, and 24 pending, in 21 countries, covering solid-lubricated assemblies, flywheel systems, flywheel safety containment, and ultra-high speed rotor bearings.
