REPKOT® : High load bearing composite materials

REPKOT® is used for bush bearings, thrust bearings, guide strips, wear rings, piston segments and other custom-designed machined parts that require low friction coefficient, high wear resistance and excellent load carrying capability.

REPKOT®''s friction properties can be further lowered with the addition of MoS2 and PTFE. In the presence of water, the coefficient of friction of REPKOT® is comparable to that of PTFE.

REPKOT®''s maximum resistance to compressive load is 414 N/mm2.

Typical REPKOT® attributes include:

- Self-lubricating

- High compression load resistance

- High wear and abrasion resistance

- Low humidity absorption

- Electrically insulating

- Vibration insulating

- Low density

- Non-toxic.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE)

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a thermoplastic, characterised by its high strength to density ratio.

The density of UHMW-PE can range from 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm3 and is relatively low compared to other thermoplastics. It can withstand temperatures up to 120°C for short periods, and 80°C continuously (up to 110°C continuous for special high temperature grades). This category of thermoplastic is characterised by: - Excellent resistance to alternating strain - Very go...

DANAWING® composite seal for accurate piston cylinder positioning

Composite seals comprising a PTFE sleeper seal and energising O-ring are commonly used to prevent piston cylinder pressure losses. However, pressure differentials between the cylinders can cause the sleeper''s energising elastomer O-ring to twist, causing the sleeper to lose its sealing action. The patented DANAWING® composite design replaces the elastomer O-ring wit...
