Plastic guide rails with self-lubricating properties are primarily made from self-lubricating plastic materials. These materials achieve self-lubrication through the addition of lubricants, fillers, or special polymers. Such guide rails have the following characteristics:
Low friction coefficient: Self-lubricating plastic materials have a smooth surface with low friction, eliminating the need for external lubricants and reducing maintenance requirements.
High wear resistance: These materials maintain low wear over extended periods, making them suitable for high-frequency and long-duration sliding environments.
Corrosion resistance: Plastic guide rails are resistant to chemicals, water, and corrosion, making them ideal for use in humid or corrosive environments.
Lightweight: Compared to metal guide rails, plastic guide rails are lighter, making installation easier and reducing the load on the equipment.
Noise reduction: Due to the nature of the material, self-lubricating plastic guide rails operate with lower noise levels.
Common self-lubricating plastic materials include PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), nylon, polyethylene (PE), and PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone). These guide rails are widely used in industries such as food processing, medical equipment, and textile machinery, where high standards of hygiene, low noise, and no lubrication are required.
