Plastics

Here we have a variety of granulated materials at our disposal for injection molding and semi-finished products for the machining process. Each of our plastic materials has specific characteristics that can be used depending on the application profile of the customer.

POM (Polyoxymethylene)

This type of material can be described as the all-rounder of our markets. Especially features such as high strength, toughness, low abrasion behaviour, and resistance to external influences are combined in one material to achieve a long lifetime in practice. Besides, POM has very good sliding properties, which makes it possible to use this material also in slide bearings.

PA (Polyamide)

Stiffness and strength are also the essential characteristics of our PA materials. A major advantage here is, furthermore, the easy-flowing property which allows the production of a tread with a minimal cross-section. In addition, PA materials are also used for components with a complex geometry where high dimensional stability is required.

TPE (Thermoplastic elastomer)

Our TPE materials of various degrees of hardness (35, 55 and 72 Shore D) satisfy the demands for minimizing rolling noise and generating a high level of running comfort. Essential features are also wear-and-tear resistance, as well as high impact strength.

PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)

The high creep resistance of PET combined with long-term static loads reduces the settling behavior of plastic sheathed ball bearings and minimizes stand plates and the deformation of the plastic to a barely noticeable level. PET retains a significant part of the advantages of our other plastics.

Additives

In order to specifically optimize plastics (such as resistance to UV, improved sliding properties, absorption of high static load, etc.), we make use of a variety of options.

Dyestuffs

In addition to our standard natural shade, various dyes are available for individual customer “branding”.
