Some engineers are reluctant to consider plastic bearings in their designs. Perhaps they have become accustomed to metal or bronze bearings for years, or they simply doubt the suitability of plastic for difficult applications or environments. However, plastic bearings can withstand extreme temperatures, enormous loads and high speeds. One has to know the pros and […]
The key word “RoHS” is based on EU directive 2002/95/EU (“RoHS 1”) which was replaced on 3 January 2013 by EU Directive 2011/65/EU (“RoHS 2”).The Directive regulates the restriction of undesirable ingredients in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market.

In standard cases, we have had very good experience with superglues (e.g. Loctite 401). In the case of materials like iglidur J that are difficult to glue, considerably better results are achieved with 2-component systems (for example Loctite 406 + Primer 770). For applications involving high temperatures, we have had good experience with epoxy resin […]
