Conformant Sealing Action - Sealing of Axially Moved Valve Spindles According to 'TA Luft'
The approval process for industrial and commercial plant and equipment in Germany requires compliance with the 'Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control' (TA Luft). This regulation sets...
High-Performance Test Rigs Reduce Shaft Seal Development Cycles
Customers today increasingly demand proof of the functionality of custom-designed radial shaft seal rings (oil seals) in special applications. The application of a manufacturer of pumps for...
One Step Instead of Three
A structurally modified PTFE can now be processed as a thermoplastic. That gives designers a new range of freedom, and enables hitherto impossible applications for this fluoropolymer. At the...
High-Performance Friction Bearing for Exceptional Operating Conditions
New friction bearing versions provide the design engineer with a material that combines many properties which were previously available only separately with different friction bearings....
High-Performance Plastics Solutions for Static and Dynamic Automotive Applications
Functions like 'dynamic sealing' and 'dynamic bearing support' of shafts, pistons and rods are increasingly handled by high-performance plastics. Requirements like sealing higher pressures...
The Better Alternative - PTFE System Solutions Enhance Equipment Performance
The use of modified PTFE, also as a highly filled compound, in combination with a new welding technology enables the production of components that are fully made of PTFE for high-capacity...
