Nylon's lower friction improves motion
control
To meet the increasing demands for precise motion control, safety and elimination of lubrication in the construction industry, a new nylon provides lifting equipment with precise motion control.
Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (formerly Erta and Polypenco) has developed a new nylon, Nylatron 703 XL, to meet the increasing demands for precise motion control, safety and elimination of lubrication in the construction industry Building on the success of Quadrant EPP's Nylatron NSM, the industry's premier material for nearly 20 years, Nylatron 703 XL provides lifting equipment with a new advantage

Nylatron 703 XL has been prototyped in the Japanese market in Telescopic Crane Booms.
Nylatron 703 XL is the material of choice because of the virtual absence of vibrations during the movement of the boom resulting in more efficient positioning of the crane and safer working standards.
A pilot project in crane booms in Europe has resulted in the first truly lubrication free crane boom because of the elimination of 'stick-slip'.
Nylatron 703 XL is the only nylon with ZERO 'stick-slip' under all circumstances tested against unpainted services.
Preliminary tests against painted surfaces show identical results.
Units equipped with Nylatron 703 XL can accurately display smaller movements made possible by today's sophisticated control devices.
Nylatron 703 XL not only offers zero 'stick-slip' and lower coefficient of friction, but also a higher pressure-velocity capabilities and good wear resistance.
Nylatron 703 XL sets a new standard of machined parts performance for all kinds of linear bearing and 'stick-slip' critical wear pad applications in the construction and public transport industry.
Quadrant EPP offers a broad range of bearing and wear resistant materials that can handle aggressive thermal, wear and chemical environments Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is the world leader in the manufacture of engineering plastics in stock shapes (rod, plate and tube) for machining.
Quadrant EPP also produces custom nylon castings and finished parts and is the sole manufacturer of Extreme Materials with a unique combination of properties: vastly improved wear resistance, better dimensional stability over a wider temperature range, greater strength at higher temperatures and new levels of static dissipation.
