Polymer bushings can be made from a variety of plastics, including Nylon, PEEK, Acetal, PPS, and Teflon. In this article, we are going to look at some fast facts about one particular type of p
olymer bushing: Nylon bushings. Nylon bushings are injection molded or cast, hence the term molded bushings. They are usually available as sleeved bushings of flanged bushings.

One of the primary uses of bellows is to absorb dimensional changes due to thermal effects, which is very useful when used high temperature flows such as steam. Bellows also serve to dampen vibration in the system caused by rotating components, protect sensitive and brittle processing equipment, and to absorb shock loadings.

Misalignment of the shaft in PTFE rotary seal applications results in eccentricity and shaft runout, both of which cause their own set of problems. In this short article, we will take a quick look at the repercussions of misalignment.

Polymeric Rotary Shaft Seals:
When it come to polymeric rotary shaft seals, the mating surface of the shaft is of vital importance. In this article we look at four questions that you need to know the answers to when it comes to the shaft surface for a PTFE rotary shaft seal. Let’s get started!

One of the major areas of failure in wind turbines involves contaminants damaging the bearings, which in turn compromises the performance of other components, results in less efficiency, and the potential for catastrophic failure. When you consider the outdoor, uncontrolled environments that wind turbines operate in, its easy to see why seals are the first line of defense for bearings.
A wind turbine may have up to 5,000 separate components, and some of the most important components are the seals. In this article we are going to look at wind turbine seals, including polymeric seals, and how they are chosen.
