Mouldable sliding surfaces: maximum precision with minimum effort

Moulding of complex shapes and structures without mechanical processing with precision in the µm range. All this with minimum cost and time expenditure. This is the dream in mechanical engineering.

And this is the real solution: DIAMANT moglice, the mouldable sliding surface system with ultra-fine sliding fillers. It produces surfaces moulded to micrometre precision on plain bearings and guideways. For the production or overhaul of high-precision, stick-slip-free sliding surfaces of any geometry. Whether round, curved, concave, convex, with undercuts, etc. The sliding surface hardens without technically relevant shrinkage so that the accuracy of the moulded surface is transferred to the surface true to form.

How the DIAMANT sliding surface system protects against abrasion and wear

The mouldable sliding surface allows dynamic elements to run smoothly, protects against abrasion and wear and thus significantly reduces manufacturing and operating costs. It allows a completely jerk-free start-up and smooth movement even with high surface loads. Even under unfavourable conditions, such as insufficient lubrication or high loads, the material retains its outstanding properties.

Weighing or measuring is no longer necessary

When used on cast iron, for example, the idle friction coefficient is only around 1/7 of a conventional cast iron-steel pairing. In general, the technology of composite polymers produces excellent sliding properties between machine components made of different materials.
