DIAMANT develops extremely low-viscosity moglice SLE: µm-precise sliding surfaces for the high-tech sector

DIAMANT moglice P/SLE is a high-precision 2-component sliding lining for the manufacture, repair and maintenance of (hydrostatic) guides, plain bearings and stick-slip-free sliding surfaces of any geometry – whether round or curved, concave or convex, with or without undercuts. moglice P/SLE allows completely jerk-free starting of machines and smooth movement even with high surface loads.

The basis for smooth processes in the high-tech sector

Even under unfavorable conditions, such as insufficient lubrication or high loads, the material retains its outstanding properties. The newly developed, low-viscosity DIAMANT moglice SLE (Self Leveling Epoxy) has been designed for use in the high-tech sector, where the greatest possible precision is required under high, dynamic loads. It flows in automatically, spreads evenly on the sliding surfaces and forms a smooth, high-precision sliding layer after curing. Layer thicknesses of up to 10 mm are possible.

In general, the DIAMANT technology of composite polymers produces excellent sliding properties between machine components made of different materials. Thanks to the µm-precise molding method, time-consuming mechanical post-processing (e.g. scraping) is no longer necessary. The moldable sliding surface allows dynamic elements to run more smoothly, protects against abrasion and wear and thus makes a significant contribution to reducing manufacturing and operating costs. The material can be removed from the mating surface by using a micro-thin layer of diamond release agent. The result is an exact copy of the workpiece surface.

Flexible application: filling, pouring or injection

The cold-curing polymer can be applied flexibly by filling, casting or injection and cures without technically relevant shrinkage, so that the accuracy of the impression surface is transferred to the covering true to form. After curing, the proven 2-component epoxy resin system is characterized by optimum sliding properties, excellent damping properties, high compressive strength up to 110 N/mm2 and high chemical resistance, particularly to oils, cooling emissions and cooling lubricants.

DIAMANT moglice P/SLE is available ready to mix – in cans and in the 2-component ready-to-use cartridge system, which makes it easier to use, eliminates mixing errors and protects users from contact with the polymer. The 2-component polymer system can be used without specialist knowledge. Processing can be carried out on site by trained personnel. The DIAMANT service team will be happy to instruct first-time users.
