This reinforced polyamide type, reinforced with 20 % carbon fibres, unites very high rigidity, mechanical strength, and creep resistance with optimum wear resistance. The carbon fibre content increases the thermal and electrical conductivity of the material and improves its sliding properties. This means that in the case of sliding elements the frictional heat and static charge are dissipated from the friction surface more quickly and the mating surface is protected from wear.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
