Applications
From medical to the aerospace industryOriginally emerging as new insulation materials used in electro-technical designs, composites have since spread to a wide range of uses – from the medical to the aerospace industry:
Mechanical applications:
• wear and slide parts
Electrical applications:
• electrical insulation
• engineering materials
Examples of mechanical applications:
Guide rings for hydraulic cylinders:
high transverse loads.
• high wear resistance in aggressive and dust-filled environments
• can be lubricated with water, oil or grease
Ball bearing cages for high-speed ball bearings:
• low weight, high strength
• reduces centrifugal forces, noise and wear
Example of electrical application:
Electrical insulation for traction transformers:
• insulation and construction material
