Slide rails - Low friction, wear-resistant and temperature-resistant
The use of metallic materials in guideways or rails inevitably leads to wear due to friction, which can increase maintenance costs and downtimes. Slide rails made from DOTHERM materials offer an optimum solution by combining excellent friction and sliding properties with high wear resistance and temperature stability.
Slide rails and chain guides made from our special sliding materials from the DOGLIDE series, which have been developed for use at temperatures of up to 600 °C, are particularly suitable for high-temperature applications. Due to the wide range of material options, the material can be adapted precisely to the requirements of your application to ensure a durable and efficient solution.
Advantages of slide rails made from high-performance materials
- Reduction of friction and wear in guide and sliding areas
- Can also be used at high temperatures up to 600 °C
- Long service life and reduced maintenance intervals
- Oil-free application option for clean production environments
- Optimum adaptation to individual application requirements
