Kestlub® is a special type
of cast
polyamide ideal for bearings. It is produced by adding lubricants to
cast polyamide through special processes. It performs extremely well
in bearing applications as it is self-lubricated.
Lubricants
are homogenously dispersed making them inseperable out of the
material. Lubricant
additivess do not leak out even in toughest operating conditions.
Machining does not alter this qualilty. Lubrication keeps the coefficient of friction very low during
operation and thus prevents heating up, extending component
operation life.
Kestlub® should be preferred in applications where
dimensional stability and weatherability of Kestamid® are
questionable. As lubricant additives fill up
pores, humidity and water absorption are reduced; sustaining
dimensional stability. In high pressures and bearing applications,
solid lubricant does not leak out, making Kestlub® the
best choice.
