Tribology Solutions

TECNOPLAST solutions are designed according to thorough studies of their tribological properties to minimize friction and wear, and find application in several different industries. TECNOPLAST’s engineering and research team are always up to date with the latest tribology studies in order to match every new challenge with better solutions.

Here’s a few of our products that fully exploit their tribological properties:

• TUBULAR MOTOR

Extremely silent and lightweight tubular motor. Dry contact, no external lubricant needed, long life, high temperature range.

• MISURATORE A GAS

Questo misuratore gode di un coefficiente di attrito così basso da permettere le rotazione della ventola anche con il minimo passaggio di gas.

• SELF-LUBRICATING COMPONENTS

TECNOPLAST makes self-lubricating, polymer based components (bushings,bearings, gears, wheels, rings, pinions, rotors, brakes, clutches, gaskets, pulleys, screws). Thanks to their low coefficient of friction and high resistance to wear, these components are widely used in mechanical applications.

METAL REPLACEMENT

TECNOPLAST studies and develops high performance polymers for metal components replacement. There are several reasons behind this type of solutions: less weight, longer lasting molds, significantly lower costs.

LARGE THICKNESS

TECNOPLAST has the knowledge to deal with polymer components presenting a large thickness. This requires advanced printing methods to avoid technical issues down the line.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

Among TECNOPLAST’s wide range of products are components that achieve the same levels of tolerance as the ones originally machine-tool made, as well as self-extinguishing, high heat resistant parts for electrical appliances that can work at 240° C.
