Technical Details & Test Data
- LNP™ Compounds Wear and Friction Solutions Bearings, Bushings, Cams and Sliders
At the push of a button, windows move, doors lock, copies get made, and HVAC comes to life. These electromotive actions require gears, bearings, bushings and other wear surfaces to provide smooth, reliable, actuation forces. LUBRICOMP™ and LUBRILOY™ compounds can help deliver the high quality performance required.
Thermoplastic Bearings
While resistance to wear is important for thermoplastic bushings/bearings, low friction can be more important. Heat generated from friction is often the limiting factor in plastic bearing applications. The operating load (P) and speed (V) of the application can be compared to the allowable, or “Limiting PV” of a candidate material. The data shown below was generated using a cylindrical half bearing test configuration, but modern thrust washer testers can be used to develop PV maps as well.
Internally Lubricated Compounds
The addition of an internal lubricant to a thermoplastic material can improve the wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction in plastic parts. Traditional lubricants like MoS2 , PTFE and PTFE/Si blends are common, with reinforcements like glass and carbon fiber adding strength and modulus. High temperature resins are sometimes required to resist deformation from friction generated heat.
