Torlon® balls are used for high-strength, wear-resistant ball bearings. Excellent for High-Load Recirculating Ball Bearings. Automotive Application: Torlon Check Balls for 4-Wheel-Drive Vehicle Transmissions The durability of high-torque automatic transmissions was improved when Chrysler product development engineers specified Torlon® poly(amide-imide) resin for the check balls. The resin was selected for multiple variations of three- and four-speed transmissions coupled to the Magnum Engine product line. The check balls withstand system pressures, and provide excellent sealing surfaces ...

Acetal is a versatile material best known for its wear and moisture resistance. It also has a slippery surface, high strength, and good machinability.

UHMW Polyethylene has outstanding abrasion, wear, and impact resistance. UHMW is commonly fabricated into conveyers, machine guards, and equipment housings.

Unidirectional carbon fiber has its fibers running in a single parallel direction so it is ideal for applications where front-to-back strength is important. Long, tubular structures that move in a forward-and-reverse direction, such as rockets, airplanes, boats, and bicycles, all use unidirectional carbon fiber as reinforcement.

Bearing grade Ketron® HPV PEEK has excellent wear resistance in addition to the lowest coefficient of friction and the best machining characteristics of the filled PEEK stock shapes. The addition of carbon fibers, PTFE and graphite to virgin PEEK results in a Ketron PEEK "Bearing Grade". Its excellent tribological properties (low friction, long wear and high Pressure-Velocity capabilities) make this grade especially suited for bearing and wear applications. Maximum Operating Temperature: 482°F Continuous
