With stainless steel and other metals so predominant in industrial food manufacturing equipment, it may seem unusual to suggest a more significant role for plastic wear rings and bearings. But for a broad range of food production and transportation machines, advanced polymers are an effective way to reduce friction and handle load instead of traditional metal bearings.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Are supply chains, materials, and drivability of EVs helping or hurting?
Reduce Vibration and Avoid Stiction in SealsBy Holger Jordan, fluid power segmentmanager, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Stick-slip is not always a big issue, but sometimes it can significantly
degrade performance. Potentially, it can cause damage, such as cracks in
steel work and strength loss, and even health problems for operators.
We look at solutions to combat stick-slip to lower vibration as well as to create damping solutions.

Seals used in offshore rig tensioner cylinders must meet the same rigorous lifecycles as the
cylinders themselves. Because offshore environments are harsh and installation and maintenance
can be difficult, tensioner cylinders must have a 20-year life. That was why, more than 20 years
ago, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions conducted research, determining that its seals could last this
necessary lifecycle.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions recently launched XploR S-Seal and XploR FSSeal, extrusion-resistant elastomers the company developed for demanding high temperature and high-pressure sealing environments in the oil and gas industry.
Three production techniques can reduce the colonization of bacteria on devices made of silicone for placement inside the body. Tests have shown that the newest method shows promise.
The chemical compatibility of a seal with the fluids in a system is critical to obtaining a reliable, long-lasting seal. Here are some considerations for choosing the right material for a given chemical sealing application.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions helps develop revolutionary subsea product
When faced with the challenge of helping to create a product to boost safety and efficiency for offshore engagement, Trelleborg went above and beyond in developing a complete sealing solution to help its partner "revolutionise" the oil industry.
