Original Material "S" ® 8000

1 of 13 products in this brand
Original Material "S" ® 8000 material results from the further development of a tried-and-tested material. Experiences of over 50 years of producing Original Material "S"® have contributed to the development of this material. This involved improving already impressive material properties. For example, the self-lubricating character of this material has resulted in an improved sliding friction coefficient in comparison with Original Material "S". Original Material "S" 8000® is ideally suited for use in sliding guides, slide segments, and slide bearings.
