Zell-Metall Engineering Plastics Zellamid 1100 OIL

Zellamid® 1100 OIL: A new type of cast nylon produced by addition of a special oil to the polymer structure. By laboratory test it was proven that this second generation oil filled product reduces friction in comparison to standard cast nylon.This means that Zellamid® 1100 OIL is particularly well suited for sliding parts under high load and increased speed.The specific advantages of Zellamid® 1100 OIL against Zellamid® 1100 are as follows:High degree of self lubrication.Low static coefficient of friction.Low dynamic coefficient of friction.Reduced heat build-up.Better wear and enormously increased part life due to less heat build-up in the area of friction.Reduced moisture absorption (about 5% for Zellamid® 1100 OIL vs. 6-7% for Zellamid® 1100).Increased dimensional stability.Zellamid® 1100 OIL features a homogeneous distribution of the lubricating oil during polymerization. Therefore the improved sliding properties remain, even after machining and part wear. The p. v. value may be used as a guideline to determine the loading capacity of slide bearings at a certain velocity. The values mentioned in the attached data sheet apply for the material combination of Zellamid® and metal for continuous use when heat is well conducted and environmental temperature is normal. Higher are permissible when on is intermittent.When using additional lubricants with Zellamid® 1100 OIL, the external lubricant influences the coefficient of friction to a very high degree. It can be reduced to 0.05. Consequently, the p. v. value may be increased. The advantages of the integrated lubrication of Zellamid® 1100 OIL are particularly noticeable when there is a combination of static and dynamic friction, especially when external lubrication is insufficient or imposible. Zellamid® 1100 OIL is supplied in yellow colour for easy identification.
