This press-sintered polymer is reinforced with 30% glass fibre and has a higher rigidity, mechanical strength, and creep resistance than PAI SL. It is well-suited for use in parts which are subjected to long-term, heavy exposure to static loads at high temper atures. In addition, PAI GF30 offers exceptional dimensional stability up to +250 °C, which makes it a very popular material for precision parts such as those used in the electrical and semi-conductor industries. Because the glass fibres tend to result in abrasion of the mating surface, the use of this material for slide bearings must be carefully checked for each specific application.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
