Tribology – the science of friction – is our specialty and often the key to success for our customers. Plastic friction plays a central role in the efficiency of escalators, intralogistics systems, sliding inserts, and industrial plants. Whether plastic adheres or slides is often crucial: the right balance of friction ensures reliable operation. Lubrication requirements and service life are also important cost factors. We calculate in advance which material is best suited for the respective application. A wide range of measurement methods and years of experience gained through endurance tests enable our experts not only to accurately select suitable materials but also to perfectly dimension components and choose the ideal friction partners for reliable operation.
