Product launch of nylon bearings

Westley Plastics have developed and brought Elastimer Filled Cast Nylon 6 to the construction marketplace. The customer benefits in its key properties of toughness and resilience which is particularly important to bearing materials coming under high impact loads. Westley are for the first time presenting this component material to the international forum of Hillhead 2003.

Westlon T is a world-class high performance cast nylon offering excellent wear properties combined with durability and impact resistance. This material also provides resistance to electrical conductivity and arcing, as well as dissipating heat across surfaces. It is ideal for application involving bushes, bearings, pulleys, gears, and wear pads where light weight, self-lubricating, and corrosion resistance components provide competitive advantage to the customer's equipment. Typical machines include articulated dump trucks, mechanical diggers, and cranes involving telescopic booms.
