Maxton

The Maxton material is based on applying new patented reinforcing and lubricating technology to existing thermoplastics. The result is wear properties that far exceed those available in current injection moldable wear compounds. Maxton offers wear properties that are comparable to exotic non injection moldable friction wear materials, but results in components that are less expensive to produce. The breakthrough Maxton technology leads to bottom line results in many friction wear applications:
-
Low wear across a broad range of speeds and loads.
-
Excellent high speed and high load wear properties, excellent for high PV usage
-
Low thermal expansion
-
Temperatures up to 550 F
-
Quiet operation, low noise
-
Can be used against soft metals, such as stainless steel, bronze and aluminum
-
Excellent chemical and steam resistance
-
High strength and good impact properties
-
High compression modulus to withstand high loads without deforming, low creep
-
Excellent thermal conductivity
-
Very low friction, resulting in low energy usage
-
Can be used lubricated or non lubricated
-
Patented injection moldable material
Typical Applications:
-
Bushings, especially high PV
-
Rotary pump vanes
-
Air tool vanes
-
Thrust washers
-
Seals
-
Valve seats
-
Piston and seal rings
-
Wear strips
-
Many other wear parts
