Sliding: Low-friction solutions for long-lasting processes
In many industrial processes, movements occur that inevitably lead to wear. This wear usually manifests itself in the form of abrasion, which shortens maintenance intervals and causes downtime. In order to extend these intervals and make processes more efficient, it is crucial to take a close look at the tribological properties of the sliding partners.
This is where special materials come into play, which are used as sliding partners. These materials are softer than the friction partner, but robust enough not to be damaged on first contact. Our DOTHERM materials, supplied by Megatron, are developed precisely for such applications and help to reduce wear and increase the service life of your systems.
If, in addition to friction, high temperatures or aggressive media occur, specially designed materials are required that can withstand these loads without losing their sliding properties.
Application examples and solutions for sliding applications
Seal rings for sealing systems
Seal faces and counter rings are the central components of a mechanical seal. These two rings are in constant contact, but slide over each other without touching. Thanks to their precise sliding properties, DOTHERM mechanical seals enable reliable and low-maintenance operation of pumps and sealing systems, even under demanding conditions such as high temperatures or abrasive media.
Slide rails for guide applications
In systems where metallic materials are used as guides or rails, frictional wear is unavoidable. Slide rails made from DOTHERM materials offer a superior alternative here. They are characterized by excellent friction and sliding properties, which significantly reduce wear. These rails are particularly temperature-resistant, wear-resistant and offer a long service life, even with continuous movements and high loads.
Coated components for low-wear surfaces
Coatings can significantly improve the tribological properties of components. Depending on the selected coating and substrate material, abrasion can be reduced and chemical resistance increased. Our coated DOTHERM components extend the service life of your components, minimize frictional wear and contribute to the smooth running of your production processes.

Handling: Precision and protection in the production process
Handling refers to the controlled handling and transportation of parts and components within production processes, particularly when positioning, aligning, gripping and holding between individual production steps. In these processes, it is essential that components are handled precisely and safely without causing damage or contamination.
Sensitive surfaces in particular must not be damaged during handling, while abrasive components and media can put a lot of strain on the handling elements used and cause wear. This can lead to inaccurate positioning and process instability.
As a partner to industry, Megatron AG supplies handling solutions with DOTHERM materials which, thanks to their extreme wear resistance and temperature stability, guarantee precise, reliable positioning and handling even at high cycle rates.
Application examples and solutions for handling processes
Settling plates for glass manufacturing processes
Depositing plates, cooling plates, pusher plates, cross belts, grippers and levers made of DOTHERM materials are manufactured for glass production and glass blowing machines. They enable safe depositing and handling of glass products at high temperatures and ensure reliable and damage-free processing.
Coated components for low-wear handling
Coatings on handling components significantly reduce friction and wear and improve chemical resistance. These coated components offer an extended service life and enable safe and gentle handling of components even with demanding media.
Slide rails for precise guidance and movement
Slide rails made of DOTHERM materials offer excellent sliding properties and reduce frictional wear on guideways and transport systems. They enable precise and low-wear movement of components and are used in particular in automated manufacturing processes to increase process stability.
Gripper fingers for sensitive components
Gripper fingers with specific contours are used to safely pick up, grip, transport or guide components. They are primarily used in electronics production and are designed to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces while ensuring stable positioning.
Hold-down device for stable fixation
Hold-down devices ensure the secure positioning of components during machining by holding them against a surface or contour. They are designed for applications where precision and process reliability are paramount.
Positioning pins for precise alignment
Positioning pins enable controlled, finely toleranced positioning of components and sheet metal parts during production. They make a significant contribution to increasing repeat accuracy and quality in series production.
Test plugs for electronics testing
Test plugs are made of various high-performance materials and are used for reliable 100% testing of automotive electronics. They are standard for leading manufacturers in the automotive industry and enable reliable and gentle handling of electronic assemblies during the test process.
Goods carriers for safe transportation
Goods carriers are used to safely transport and hold products such as printed circuit boards within production processes. They must be electrically insulating, resistant to temperature changes and wear-resistant in order to enable reliable and damage-free handling.
Workpiece carriers for series production
Workpiece carriers and workpiece holders ensure the exact positioning of components during series production, especially when welding, gluing, riveting or soldering. They are designed for high cycle rates and help to make processes efficient and stable.
Insulating components for plastic welding technology
During plastic welding, high temperatures are generated that need to be specifically insulated. Insulating components made from DOTHERM materials enable short cycle times by controlling the heat supply to the joining zone and at the same time ensuring process reliability through stable positioning of the components.
