PTFE coating services for mesh screens are staples of the manufacturing world, often used in liquid and gas filtration, but also utilized in a variety of industrial applications ranging from the refining of petroleum to the fabrication of paper. The hydrophobic properties of industrial Teflon® coatings make the wire cloth […]
Read MoreCoatings make more efficient use of bearing materials and eliminate secondary machining and installation. Dry, unlubricated insert bearings excel in jobs where it’s tough to maintain oil and grease lubrication. Applications for insert bearings include sliding and rotating rods in shock absorbers, air cylinders, gas springs, solenoids, valve shuttles, […]
Read MoreComposite Coating Makes Glass Fibers Less Aggressive in Sliding, Turning Parts By Mikell Knights, Senior Editor Fiber-reinforced and mineral-filled compounds are not always compatible with use in dynamic applications, where parts slide, rotate, pivot, or move across each other. “When a glass-filled part rubs against a metal surface or even […]
Read MoreThey are good enough for NASCAR engines. Bonded bearing surfaces are coatings made from high-performance polymers reinforced with hard nanosized particles. Most engineers would jump at the chance to replace bearing inserts with dry lubricants. In many cases, of course, this just hasn’t been practical. PTFE and moly-filled coatings might […]
