POBCO-B HARDWOOD (NO-STATIC BUILTUP)

POBCO-B lubricant-impregnated hardwood bearings, wearstrips and components often provide the best overall service of our various materials. These natural fiber bearings are 100% filled with a blend of fluid lubricants. They render a greater speed / load capability and have a lower wear rate factor than many plastics. This material is suitable for indirect contact only in the food and beverage industry. (100% dielectric)

 

POBCO ULTRA-D (RATED FOR 180 DEG F) AND POBCO HI-TEMP ULTRA-D (RATED FOR 275 DEG F)

Both the Ultra-D and Hi-Temp Ultra-D bearings and wear strips are made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE). This material is widely used to reduce friction from metal and metal contact. Applications are often in the precense of abrasive particles, wet environments, and will tolerate expose to many chemicals. It is FDA and USDA appoven for direct contact with food products. (special blends and colors available)

 

POBCO PLUS

POBCO Plus bearings and components are manufactured utilizing a food grade fluid lubricant united with UHMW-PE plastics. This product was developed to retain the basic properties of UHMW-PE while creating a plastic bearing material which reduces the coefficient of friction and wear rate factor. POBCO Plus meets all official requirements for use in the food and beverage industry. Reduces drag and friction up to 40%

 

POBCO Blue UXC UHMW

Is primarily used as Guide material for Table Top and Roller Chain applications. This blend of UHMW has a coefficient of friction of 50% to 75% less than standard UHMW when used with Acetal. PET and Steel TableTop Chain. Other characteristics include: outstanding dry-running properties, FDA compliant, noise reducing, and eliminates the slip-stick effect (back-sliding).

 

POBCO STATIC-DISSIPATIVE / ANTI-STATIC MATERIALS

POBCO offers several plastics materials with varying degrees of static-reduction capabilities, including black Ultra-D (UHMW). These materials can help solve electrical discharge and dirt / grimme attraction problems. These materials offer exellent wear and bearings properties and are available in many standard and custom shapes and sizes including Guide Rails, Wear Strips, Clip-Ons, Bearings and Convoyer Rollers. Minimums may apply. These plastics materials are not FDA / USDA compliant.

 

Static-Dissipative Range: Surface Resistivity 10:5 - 10:9 ohms / square. Anti-static Range: Surface Resistivity 10:9 - 10:14 ohms / square.

 

POBCO HI-WEAR CPUHMW

33% more wear resistant than unfilled UHMW. Excellent for use as Chain Guides, Bottle-Neck Guides, Liners and in waste Handling applications. Not FDA / USDA compliant.

 

POBCO ACETAL (DELRIN)

POBCO molded Delrin bearings and components find their primary usage in light to medium duty applications. POBCO machined Delrin bearings can be made for heavier duty applications. Our Delrin equipped rollers have low overall cost while affording long service life. Acetal is FDA, USDA compliant. Acetal is more resistant to hot steam cleaning than UHMW.

 

POBCO NYWEAR (FDA & NON FDA MATERIALS)

POBCO Nywear bearings and components are especially suited for high heat (230 F) material handling applications. This fluid lubricant plastic renders exeptional wear and abrasive resistant capabilities with low heat build up. High PV limit.

 

NYLON MD (NYLATRON GS)

POBCO Dry Lubricant-filled Nylon bearings and components are preferred for heavy load, high speed operations up to approximately 220 F operating temperatures. Color is charcoal gray / black.
