Plastic product range

Plastic parts of bearings, namely cages, supplied by the company SLB are manufactured by machining as well as injection moulding.

Machining is used for single-part and small-batch production, while injection moulding is suitable for medium to large-batch production. Intermediate products for machining include pipes or rods from thermoplastic and thermoset materials.

In the case of injection, moulding plastic granules are used as the intermediate product, which after melting in heating cylinder of the injection moulding machine is injected into the mould cavity where it obtains the required shape and after cooling the final shape is extracted from the mould.

For the production of plastic parts of bearings quality technical plastics based on PA 6.6 with glass reinforcement and permanent operation temperature up to 120 °C are used. If higher operation temperature is required, high temperature plastics can be used which can withstand permanent operation temperature over 200 °C. Except cages, the company SLB also produces other plastic parts of bearings such as seals, shields, assembly and transport cases for incomplete bearings or clips for split ring bearings.
