Material Selection
Our sliding materials have been used in conveyor systems all over the world for decades. What we know: Every system has different requirements for the sliding materials used. The information in the table is an initial guide, but on no account can itreplace expert advice on selecting the right sliding material for your conveyor system.
Key factors
The performance and service life of sliding materials for conveyor systems is determined by various influencing factors. These have to be taken into account for the selection. For instance:
- Mating surfaces
- Mechanical load
- Design requirements
- Dimensions and tolerances

Why is it so important to consult us regarding the proper choice of sliding material?
There is no typical material characteristic value for the friction and wear of a material. The selection is about the "system properties", i.e. the analysis of further influencing variables and parameters from the individual application. The tribological system (Tribosystem for short) was introduced for this purpose. In addition to the two friction partners, it also comprises further influencing variables such as the intermediate material, the ambient medium and the ambient conditions present, such as the movement sequence, the length of time, the pressure and the temperature in addition to the conveying velocity and the layout of the conveyor system. A suitable sliding material for an application can only be selected if all parameters have been systematically considered.

Tribological system: Different parameters have to be considered in selecting the right sliding plastics for your application
Tribological measuring system
A tribological system describes the interactions between moving surfaces that are in contact with each other. It typically consists of three main components: the base body, the mating body and the intermediate material (e.g. lubricant). The tribological properties of a system - friction, wear and lubrication - have a significant influence on the efficiency and service life of mechanical components. Through the targeted use of special materials, such as our high-performance plastics with optimised sliding properties, friction losses can be reduced, wear minimised and the performance of machines and systems increased.
