Aramid fibers enhance wear properties along with mechanical strength

The global trend of designing more compact and lighter parts has long been implemented in Automotive and E&E applications. A direct result of this approach is the continuing reduction in weight and size of components accompanied by ever increasing operating temperatures. These markets continue to aim for minimum maintenance during the life cycle of a product. All these developments exert growing demand pressures on the parts used in these sectors; such as gearwheels, sliding bearings and bushings, where the wear on the part as well as on the counter materials must be restricted to a minimum. Where the imposed requirements reach such a high performance level, aramid fibers can make an essential contribution to restricting friction and wear.
