Sheets, rods, circles, tubes for repair or production of durable, resistant in abrasive and chemically aggressive environments, which do not require lubrication of rollers, bushings, bearing inserts, guides made of thermopolymer of the Zedex series, produced by Wolf Kunststoff-Gleitlager GmbH (Germany), replacing bronze, fluoroplastic and other antifriction alloys.
Unlike bronze and steel, the ZX-100K bushing can work without lubrication, is not afraid of burrs, abrasive particles and contamination, due to its elastic properties does not require running-in and provides a larger contact area, which leads to a decrease in local specific pressure and friction.
Water absorption of polyamide PA6 or kaprolon is 3% in 24 hours, and water absorption of Zedex ZX-100K is only 0.5%. Unlike polyamide, the Zedex ZX-100K polymer does not absorb moisture and does not swell from water, which ensures dimensional stability and a long service life of the steering rack bushing.
The practical use of Zedex plastics: ZX-100K, ZX-324, ZX-410, ZX-530 instead of bronze bushings, babbit, brass, polyamide, kapron showed a significant increase in the service life of bushings and guides, a decrease in the friction force and wear of the equipment. Polymer parts, bearings, liners and guides do not require lubrication and perfectly resist wear in abrasive and polluted environments. The strength of plastics of the Zedex family allows them to be used even in heavily loaded mechanisms:
• bearings of power plant supports
• wheel supports and
rollers rotary excavators
• guides in presses for ceramics

• bearing liners in cleaning facilities
• rings for reciprocating compressors from ZX-324VMT
The use of plastic parts allows you to increase the service life of the equipment and reduce downtime. A large assortment allows you to choose material for specific work conditions.
