These polyamide types, reinforced with 30 % glass fibre – retain a high resistance to wear and have – a higher mechanical strength, rigidity, creep resistance, and dimensional stability than non-reinforced PA 66. It can also be used at higher upper service temperatures. Because the glass fibres tend to result in abrasion of the mating surface, the suitability of this material for slide bearings must be carefully checked in advance for each specific application.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
