Bearing and Wear Resistance, Minimal Slip-Stick and High Strength at Working Temperatures to 200°F (93°C)
Drake HTT-200BG Performance
Drake HTT-200BG composite shapes offer enhanced bearing and wear resistance, and maintain their structural strength at working temperatures from -40o F to 200o F (-40o C to 93o C). In addition to minimizing wear, the material has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction compared to many other composites.
A self-lubricating material, HTT-200BG is manufactured from thermosetting resins, a low friction woven textile, and uniformly dispersed molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and PTFE solid lubricants. The formulation minimizes friction and wear, and reduces slip-stick and noise in oscillating or pivoting components under load.
Other characteristics of Drake HTT-200BG include its low coefficient of thermal expansion and the ability to withstand high edge and shock loads. It also features the high structural strength and toughness characteristic of all Drake thermoset composites.
