Whitepaper
(Lingua: Inglese)
Questo whitepaper rappresenta un'utile panoramica della ""Lubrication Management"" dal punto di vista delle soluzioni di tenuta. Si basa sull'esperienza sia di Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, che del settore in generale, per fornire un punto di partenza per lo studio della tribologia. Un punto di partenza dal quale poi è possibile affrontare il mondo della tenuta e della lubrificazione, con una maggiore conoscenza e competenza - dalla sua storia, dallo sviluppo alle ultime soluzioni.
An Introduction to Counter Surfaces
Maximize the lifetime of your hydraulic systems now!
A new approach is required for the definition of counter surfaces to ensure effective sealing in dynamic applications where chrome plating is replaced by alternative coatings.
The lubrication within the hydraulic system is fundamentally affected by the surface finish of the mating surfaces. Their characteristics will determine the lubrication within the system and therefore the tribological environment.

Combattere le infezioni contratte in ospedale
- Applicazione di rivestimenti Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) con antibiotici, ai cateteri in silicone, mediante spruzzatura o immersione
- Aggiunta di antibiotici API al silicone grezzo
- Impregnamento del silicone vulcanizzato con antibiotici API, per immersione
Questo whitepaper illustra queste tre tecniche e presenta i risultati dei test, che dimostrano l'efficacia del metodo di impregnamento ad immersione, nel combinare un'API con un tubo in silicone, per prevenire le infezioni associate al catetere.
I prodotti di combinazione di dispositivi farmacologici (definiti come dispositivi medici integrati con i farmaci) possono essere prodotti in e attraverso una varietà di materiali e processi. Il silicone è uno dei materiali di maggior successo utilizzati per i prodotti combinati, in particolare per i prodotti impiantabili ed è al centro di questo whitepaper.
Poichè l'industria dell'oil and gas si muove per recuperare riserve sempre più critiche, in applicazioni ad Elevata Pressione e Temperatura (HPHT), il rischio di incendi sta aumentando. Vi è quindi una tendenza verso l'impiego di fluidi idraulici a base d'acqua, che presentano importanti problemi di tenuta. Questo whitepaper esamina in modo approfondito i materiali di tenuta e i test negli ambienti HPHT.
In questo whitepaper, esaminiamo più da vicino il problema dello "stick-slip" e di come i "damper" possano contrastarlo o minimizzarlo. A livello accademico esiste poca letteratura sui principi di base dello "stick-slip", quindi questo documento avrà un approccio più pratico e illustrerà come i progettisti possano impiegare i "damper" per ridurre il rumore e le vibrazioni; ancora una volta riducendo la forza di attrito.

Product change without aroma carryover(Language: German)
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has partnered with Krones, a specialist in beverage bottling, to analyze the reasons behind unintentional flavor carryover during the filling process. The companies found elastomer sealing components to be a relevant factor in aroma carryover and that the selection of the optimum sealing material is crucial in preventing the transfer of flavors from one filling process to the next.
Why having a skilled injection molding partner matters
A holistic approach enables a molder to guide medical device manufacturers from prototype to production
As airplane designs focus on flying at higher altitudes and speeds for longer periods, the many hydraulic systems onboard must adapt. Today's conditions can include temperatures above 600°F (315,5°C), temperatures as low as -65°F (-54°C), and pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar)

Looking Beyond Chemical Compatibility Charts: Matching Plastic and Elastomer Seals with Fluids
By Lucy Heyduk and Tim McCulfor, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions
Chemical compatibility charts are often used as a quick and concise way to match the proper fluid with a seal. However, there is much more to consider with the chemical compatibility of a seal in relation to the fluids in a system. This information is critical to gaining a reliable and long-lasting seal — and the selection process can be daunting.
High Modulus Plastics Can Play a Key Role in Off-Highway Vehicles
By Tom Zozokos, Product Line Director, and Beth Figliulo, Fluid Power Segment Manager Americas, Trelleborg SealingSolutions.
Co-injection molding is one technology of interest for those designing hydraulic systems for o!-highway use. This allows two polymers to be combined in a single operation to create multiple functions in onecomponent. A good example is an elastomeric material that acts as a seal and a scraper combined with a stronger thermoplastic material that acts as a bushing or guide ring. This component would be anideal molded rod end in a hydraulic cylinder used in the excavator bucket of an o!-highway vehicle, for instance.
Reducing Risk with Geometric Transition Extrusion
By Dan Sanchez, Product Manager at Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical
In an effort to design smaller, more intricate and complicated medical devices without running afoul of increasingly stringent national and international regulations, many designers are looking to geometric transition extrusions manufactured of high consistency rubber (HCR) silicone. This process reduces total cost of ownership for the original equipment manufacturer while improving part quality and greatly enhancing the types of devices being sought by healthcare medproviders.
Composite Simulation Grows MORE ROBUST
By Kenneth Wong
THE TRANSITION FROM METAL to composite is one of the most recent significant changes in manufacturing.
The former material is isotropic, exhibiting uniform stretching and bending behavior in all directions. By contrast,composites are anisotropic. They stretch, bend and break differently in different directions, based on how the fibers are woven together and how the laminates are bonded. This fundamental difference throws many traditional simulation protocols and practices into chaos.
5 medical tubing manufacturing processes to achieve complex geometries
By Dan Sanchez, Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical
Medtech companies have demanded increasingly complex geometries in medical tubing. Here’s a rundown of five manufacturing processes that could help them get there.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has developed a unique engineered seal– specifically for use within Central Tire Inflation systems. Turcon® Roto L is the first ever active seal, engineered to only provide sealing when required. Eliminating friction and torque, this extends the seal life of axle systems and can significantly reduce fuel consumption for vehicle operators.
Modern machinery, equipment and motors fitted with hydraulic cylinders are becoming more powerful, which means that the hydraulic systems therein are increasingly subject to higher operating pressures and temperatures.
