Industrial Automation Sector
Compact, wear-resistant components for high-intensity systems
In industrial automation, every detail impacts the overall efficiency of the production line.
Replacing metals with advanced engineering polymers means reducing friction, noise, weight, and wear—improving cycle speed, component lifespan, and ease of maintenance.
The thermoplastic materials machined by Tecno Plastic ensure continuous performance even in critical environments (humidity, dust, high temperatures), guaranteeing precision and consistency over time.
Problems solved in automated systems
- Drastic weight reduction in moving components (lower inertia and wear)
- Elimination of external lubrication thanks to self-lubricating materials
- Quiet operation for fast, continuous cycles
- Reduced wear of guides, racks, and rollers
- Increased resistance to intermittent loads and abrasion
- Reduced maintenance and minimized downtime
Competitive advantages for the automation sector
- Optimized coefficient of friction → less friction, higher speed
- Reduced weight → lower energy consumption and reduced motor load
- Self-lubrication → no grease, no contamination
- High mechanical precision → tolerances maintained over time
- Compatibility with high-precision CNC machining
Recommended materials
- PA6G / PA6G + Oil / PA6G + MoS₂ – Cast nylon with high mechanical strength, available in lubricated and wear-resistant versions
- PA66 + GF – Reinforced polyamide for high rigidity and thermal stability
- PE (300 / 500 / 1000) – Excellent sliding properties and cost-effective machinability
- POM – Precision and durability for dynamic parts and food-contact applications
- PET – Self-lubricating, ideal for components requiring tight tolerances
- PEEK – Suitable for high temperatures and continuous cycles, excellent under heavy stress
- PTFE – For dry sliding, minimal friction, and aggressive environments
Typical applications
- Gears and pinions for linear motion systems
