POM is a semi-finished material, made of polyacetal, one of the most important an engineering thermoplastic with good physical characteristics, low water absorption and good chemical resistance.
POM can be used in mineral oils, fire-resistant water based hydraulic fluids (HFA, HFB, HFC fluids). It is not resistant to acids and basis.
POM has a high ability to maintain the size, resilience and low moisture absorption. Very good characteristics in friction and sliding.
Friction coefficient (during sliding) = 0,25-0,32 ( without lubrication against still 16 Mp p=0,05 N/mm², v=0,6 m/s/5h).
Critical pv values (p – power, v – speed)
- v=0,05 m/s p=0,032 N m/mm2 *s
- v=0,5 m/s p=0,039 N m/mm2 *s
- v=5 m/s p=0,039 N m/mm2*s
Temperature range is from -50°С up to +100°С (for short period up to +130°С).
Pom has a good electrical properties, high chemical resistance and tensile strength. Material has a very low moisture absorption.
Application
POM can be used for production of anti-extrusion rings, guide rings, wipers and for rings that are produced on the machines with tight tolerances. POM is mainly use in cases where high hardness and low friction coefficient are required, for guide and back-up rings, applied at temperature not higher than +100°С. When using POM for a long period of time at high load (back-up rings, tensioning element) the temperature should be not higher than +80°С.
