Machined Parts From High PerformancePlastics Offer Solutions To Today’s
Engineering Problems
Ensinger offers a wide selection of engineering plastics in rodand slab shapes. Parts machined from these plastics canreplace steel, malleable iron, aluminum, brass, stainless steel,rubber and urethane in machinery and plant process equipment.
Compared with the materials they replace, these parts can offer:• Noise reduction• Low / no maintenance• No process contamination - no lubrication required• Increased process equipment reliability• Increased plant productivity - lighter parts can be moved more rapidly• Cost savings - low machining costs and short lead time
Machining plastic is a good choice for:
• Large or thick section parts that can’t be molded• Intricate or close-tolerance parts• Small quantity applications• Prototype parts to test a design concept• Short lead time
Manufacturers are using engineering polymers today, instead of metal, to gain importantcompetitive advantages. Selecting the best material for a specific use from Ensinger’s fullline of engineering polymers isn’t difficult. All you need is some general information aboutoperating conditions, such as temperature extremes, and impact loading. With these facts inhand, you can match your intended use with the drawings inside this brochure and determinewhich of Ensinger’s materials is most likely to give you the best performance. Ensinger isalways ready to provide additional recommendations and engineering data as needed.
1) Application: Slide Plate For TurntableMaterial Replaced: Lubricated Metal PlateMaterial used: TECAMID™ 6/6 NylonBenefits:• Less noise - will meet OSHA noise
