'Zero Slip-Stick' performance advances construction and production engineering

A major advance has been announced by Quadrant EPP (Europe) in engineering thermoplastics formulated for wear resistance and fine motion control in the construction, production and processing equipment industries.

New Nylatron® 703 XL from Dotmar EPP features 'Zero Slip-Stick' performance for precise and efficient motion control of machinery components including wear pads, bearing blocks, wear guides and linear bearings.

Machinery equipped with Nylatron 703XL can accurately produce the smaller movements made possible by today's sophisticated control devices. 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. Such precision ia made possible by the new material's "Zero Slip-Stick Performance" in which static and dynamic coefficients of friction approximate each other at virtually every point over the product's useful range.

Nylatron 703 XL builds on the success of Nylatron NSM. which has been the industry's premier material for such applications for nearly 20 years. The latest material sets a new standard of machined part performance for linear bearing and wear pad applications, providing lifting equipment with new levels of performance.

Materials such as Nylatron NSM and Nylatron GSM remain available, being widely used in critical bearing applications.
