FaigleSliding elements made of tribopolymers with integrated solid lubricants from Faigle score with low friction and high wear resistance. They can run dry and have good emergency running properties. In addition, they are light in weight, have good corrosion resistance and resistance to chemicals. They run quietly and are not very sensitive to impacts. There are a number of such sliding materials:

z. B. the tribologically highly resilient PAS-80X with 10% incorporated solid lubricants. It dampens shocks and vibrations and can be used at operating temperatures of up to 80 ° C. The light blue colored, modified polyoxymethylene PAS-LX also contains 10% incorporated solid lubricants, while the gentian blue polyoxymethylene copolymer PAS-LXY contains 20% incorporated solid lubricants. Its dynamic coefficient of friction when running dry is 0,15; this enables stick-slip-free operation even with high contact pressure. The operating temperature for continuous operation is between -40 ° and +100 ° C. All sliding materials are available as granules, semi-finished products or finished parts.

Made of such materials are highly stressed parts such as chain guides and wear strips for transport and drive belts; Slide bearings, piston parts of pneumatic cylinders or sliding elements in brakes, flanged bushings or bogies in the railway area.
