Nylatron
703XL
Zero
Slip-Stick -
means static and dynamic coefficients
of friction approximate each
other at virtually every point
over the product’s useful
range.
In everyday terms this means machinery
equipped with Nylatron 703XL can
accurately produce smaller movements.
Telescoping or sliding parts – such
as those in cranes and materials
handling equipment – move smoothly
over pads made from Nylatron 703XL
without sticking or jumping.
But Nylatron 703
XL is only the latest member of an
extended family of self-lubricating
nylons that has been building up
its profile for more than 20 years. |
|
The
Ertalon and Nylatron groupings encompass
a broad range of versatile materials
tailored to particular types of self-lubricated
performance. |
|
Ertalon
and Nylatron’s
scope for application is virtually
endless in most industries, because
each requirement can be facilitated
by subtle variations in physical
properties afforded by different
additives, and in some cases molecular
chain structure in each grade of
the product. |
Specific
applications include:
- sleeve and slide bearings
- wear pads
- support and guide wheels
- sleeves for wheels,
rollers and pulleys
- buffer blocks
- gear wheels and sprockets

Ertalon LFX |
Specifically developed
for manufacture of non-lubricated
moving parts, the self-lubricating
Ertalon LFX (green-coloured) broadens
the application base of nylons because
of its reduced coefficient of friction
(-50%) and improved wear resistance
(up to x10). Advantages include a
lower heat build up (hence a higher
load carrying capability), longer
operational life and less stick-slip. |

Nylatron GSM
Friction (and the wear and tear
it causes) can be a major cause
of downtime.
To combat this problem, the self-lubricating
Nylatron GSM was specifically designed
for crane and mining equipment
operators.
Nylatron GSM is engineered with
a solid-phase lubricant (molybdenum
disulfide - MoS2), which is impregnated
into the high-strength thermoplastic
structure.

Sheaves made from this material offer two
or three times the lifespan of a
cast iron sheave, also the rope lasts
anywhere from two to six times longer
(depending on the application), and
is much easier to lift because its
weight is one-seventh that of iron.
