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.

Your advantage with Megatron and DOTHERM

Megatron supplies you with high-quality sliding solutions from DOTHERM that have been specially developed for applications where tribological properties and thermal resistance are crucial. This allows you to make your production process more stable, efficient and economical, while at the same time extending maintenance intervals and reducing unplanned downtime.
