Bear the Wear and Tear with Versatile, Durable Plastic Flange Bushing

plastic_flange_bushingsThe Sacramento Bee published an industry news update on its site regarding the bearings industry in America. Things are looking good as the country’s numerous industrial sectors are all in need of the vital components that this field provides. The article points out that the market has a lot more room to expand.

Ball, roller, and plain bearing demand in the US is forecast to increase 4.4 percent per year to $12.9 billion in 2017. This will be a notable improvement from the growth registered during the 2007 to 2012 period. Market advances will be supported by improved conditions in motor vehicle manufacturing, the largest market for bearings. The trend toward “insourcing” US durable goods manufacturing will create opportunities in a variety of markets.

Manufacturers of Non-Hazardous Polymer Seals Say EPA wants to Phase Out PFOA

Some Teflon manufacturers have announced that they will be phasing out non-stick coatings on pans and other cookware by 2015 or earlier, reports Roddy Scheer and Doug Moss of E-The Environmental Magazine. The decision was made after these manufacturers received reports of serious health effects that resulted from exposing Teflon to high heat. High heat exposure releases a constituent chemical known as PFOA in gas form.

However, take note that only Teflon derived from perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) will be phased out. It’s unlikely to affect the other Teflon—virgin polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE). Chemist Roy Plunkett first discovered PTFE in 1938, and it currently holds the Guinness World Record for slickest substance. Companies that are looking for manufacturers of quality polymer seals and bearings that are non-hazardous should contact manufacturers like Advanced EMC Technologies.

At 0.02, PTFE has the lowest coefficient of static and dynamic friction for a solid. It has seen various uses aside from non-stick frying pans and casseroles, and has even been applied in aerodynamics. Consumers and businesses that are worried about the health hazards of PFOA would be glad to know that many manufacturers, such as Advanced EMC Technologies, are producing seals, bearings, and precision components using efficient but non-hazardous materials.

While there’s no direct evidence linking exposure to PFOA to health problems, workers in factories that produce PFOA products are at risk of developing pancreatic and testicular cancer. As initial tests have shown that PFOA is lethal to birds, some are quick to assume that it may pose the same threat to humans. The fumes emitted by non-stick pans during cooking may contain the carcinogenic PFOA, which has been found to increase estrogen levels and deregulate testosterone functions.

In a letter to former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson, a well-known Teflon manufacturer discussed its goal of totally eliminating PFOA by 2015 or earlier. Alternatives being researched assure the EPA and the public that future products containing PTFE (no longer called Teflon) won’t break down or contain any PFOA. By using polymers that do not emit hazardous substances, public health and safety is reinforced.

Virgin PTFE is already available in the market, primarily for making industrial-grade virgin PTFE rotary shaft seals. Reinforced seals can resist temperatures between 60 below zero to 520 degrees Fahrenheit. These seals are primarily used to handle hazardous materials, as they won’t degrade so easily upon chemical and nuclear exposure. Virgin PTFE may not be as slick as the original Teflon (static and dynamic coefficient of 0.09 and 0.05 respectively), but it doesn’t need to be.

Replacing Components Like Plastic Flange Bushing & Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

bearing_maintenance_repair-108050-edited

Regular maintenance is a good way to keep tools and machines up and running. However, when you’re doing maintenance work more often than usual, is it still possible to keep the current units in working condition? Jorge Sastre, an engineering professor from the European University of Madrid, discusses this question in his article for Bearing-News.com.

Teflon PTFE Seals for Static and Dynamic Sealing

Advanced EMC Technologies’ Teflon PTFE seals are one of their frontline products, in continuous demand across many industries. The seal offers perfect static and dynamic sealing for the most demanding applications. Other key features include low friction, chemically resistant, dry/lubricated running used in many industries such as fluid handling, semiconductor, aerospace and instrumentation..

Talking about it, a senior executive with the company said, “The component is an integral part of the equipment across industry sectors. It can withstand extreme temperature, chemicals and pressure. Sealing jacket is made of resilient PTFE and can be energized by an internal spring when needed which applies a load to the sealing element at low pressures. It has unlimited shelf life and controlled friction/load.”

Spring energized seals have a resilient seal jacket and compensates for jacket wear, hardware misalignment or eccentricity. Polymer seal jackets materials include Virgin PTFE, Carbon/Graphite PTFE, Moly/Filled PTFE, Glass/Moly PTFE, Polyimide/Filled PTFE, UH/Polymer PE, 60% Bronze / filled PTFE and PCTFE / KEL F. FDA approved low friction Virgin PTFE is excellent for light duty service, cryogenic applications and low molecular weight gas service.

Carbon/Graphite PTFE offers superb resistance to heat and wear. Good in liquids and steam, it is recommended for dry or semi-dry applications. The executive added for Glass/Moly PTFE, “It works well for high pressure applications and is impressive in hydraulic, steam and water. The material is abrasive in rotary service against soft metals.”


Teflon Spring Energized PTFE Seals by Advanced EMC by PTFEseals

Polyimide/Filled PTFE seals are outstanding in dry service with low wear rate in vacuum and inert gases. It has very low abrasion to dynamic mating surfaces. UH/Polymer PE has higher friction than PTFE compounds. Static and slow dynamic PCTFE / KEL F is best grade for cryogenic applications. 60% Bronze / filled PTFE excels at very high rotary speeds with low pressure.
