Fluoroplastic restoration and transformation – From adhesive tape to domes
Swing pad
Sporting superb self-lubrication and a low friction tendancy, this is a tribological material utilizing fluoroplastic PTFE. The Swingpad particularly exhibits its efficiency at a low gear under a high load. Able to endure severe temperature changes, and in the case of earthquakes, etc., effect of both dead and dynamic loads are absorbed by the smooth sliding action, preventing the outbreak of hazardous stress.
Merit
Low friction coefficient
Under the conditions of a high load at a low gear, an exceedingly low friction coeffecient can be achieved.
Smooth tribological properties
With no occurrence of self-adhesion or “stick-slip” phenomena, the expansion or contraction motion of a high load is smoothly absorbed.
Complete self-lubrication
As a completely oil-less tribological material, there is no need for oil supply maintenance for lubrication.
Simple design
Due to a well-manufactured slide face equipped with a thin pad, the simple compact design is possible.
Excellent climate endurance
Even in outdoor exposure, general climate and weather will have no effect on the Swingpad. Without rusting or corrosion, the friction coefficient remains stable through a wide range of temperatures.
