Application Examples

Sliding element for the jib

Sliding elements made of lubricant enriched cast polyamides make for a smooth extension motion of telescopic crane booms and equipment booms. They provide high strength and rigidity and facilitate extension with exceptionally good sliding properties. This material group includes our PA 6G materials Sustamid^® 6G, Sustaglide^®, Lamigamid^® 319 and Lamigamid^® 318.

Support plates and support plate pads

Cranes and construction machines have to be secure and stable. Lamigamid^® support plates are light, stable and have a low impact on the ground. Even at high impact loads, the plastic plates remain dimensionally stable. Support plates made of Lamigamid^® are used at support pressures of 250kN to 1,500kN. Heavy-duty support plates are made of Lamigamid^® 300, Lamigamid^® 310 or Lamigamid^® 400. We supply support plates complete with assembly material according to the customers’ requirements – both for permanently mounted and removable versions.

Sliding elements for telescopic booms

Sliding and pushing movements occur in various places in cranes and hoisting equipment. The self-lubricating properties and high wear resistance of the sliding elements such as glide strips, glide sheets and sliding guides made of Lamigamid^® support this process and prevent stick-slip effects. + Slider for curved telescopic segments + Guide of the hydraulic cylinder in the telescopic boom + Slider in the construction machine + Slider with grease grooves Properties Heavy dutyLow moisture absorptionGood emergency operating properties

Support plates

Telescopic cranes and truck-mounted cranes have to be secure and stable. Plastic support plates are used for this purpose. Support plates made of Lamigamid^® are light and stable and have a low impact on the ground surface. Even at high impact loads, the plastic plates remain dimensionally stable. Support plates made of Lamigamid^® are used at support pressures of 250kn – 1500kn. Heavy-duty support plates are made of Lamigamid^® 300, Lamigamid^® 310 or Lamigamid^® 400. We supply support plates complete with assembly material according to your requirements – both for permanently installed and removable versions. + Removable support plate made of Lamigamid^® 300 + Support plate made of Lamigamid^® 300 with variable positioning + A Liebherr LRS 545 Reachstacker with a support plate made of Lamigamid^® 300, © Liebherr Special features: Heavy dutyLighter than steel structuresShatter-proof, shock-resistant and impact-resistant

Castors

Castors -Castors made of our materials Sustamid^® 6G and Lamigamid^® machined within tight tolerances are subject to less wear than steel because of their excellent abrasion resistance and high mechanical strength and toughness, are low-maintenance and thus make for a very long servicelife. We would be happy to advise and support you in selecting materials, designing and performing stress computations.
