Vesconite Hilube bearing for 3D printers
Vesconite is available in a wide range of rods, bushings, plates, and machined custom parts.
Main advantages:
No water swell
Fully saturated, Vesconite Hilube has a negligible moisture absorption rate (0.5%). Its linear swell rate of 0.07% allows for fine clearances in the majority of applications.
Superior performance
Vesconite Hilube overcomes the limitations of conventional bearing materials. Its load-bearing capacity is higher than white metal, its wear life in poorly lubricated or dirty conditions more than ten-fold that of bronze. Its self- lubricating properties are far superior to nylon.
Extended wear life
Vesconite grew out of an identified industry need to reduce maintenance and downtime across a multitude of applications.
Low friction
Vesconite Hilube’s friction coefficient (0.10) is approximately half that of bronze and nylon. This allows for a higher PV factor (load x speed). Adding external lubrication or water to the equation will lower friction even further, and the resultant PV factor.
High load-bearing
Vesconite Hilube has a much higher load capacity compared to nylon, rubber and elastomer bearings. Unlike nylon, Vesconite Hilube maintains its strength under wet conditions and shows very little creep under heavy load.
Temperature limits
Vesconite Hilube may be used continuously at 100ºC in dry applications, and for short periods at higher temperatures. Load limits should be reduced by half when operating above 80ºC.
Shaft friendly
The wear of metal pins and shafts is reduced by as much as 90% when Vesconite Hilube bushings are used. An extremely valuable benefit in terms of cost-saving and maintenance downtime.
Chemical resistance
Vesconite Hilube is resistant to dilute and moderate acids, organic solvents, oils and petroleum. It has limited resistance to strong acids and alkalis.
