UHMW Abrasion Resistance
UHMW Abrasion Resistance
(OP)
I am considering laminating some table tops (steel plate top) with 1/4" or 1/2" thick UHMW (see McMaster items 84945K815) to slide heavy dies across. The dies weigh about 2000# each. I was thinking of using an adhesive to mount the UHMW.
I am choosing this instead of rollers because of the lower assembly and labor costs. We would do this on at least a dozen pieces of equipment.
Does anyone know what a good adhesive would be for UHMW to steel?
Does this sound like a bad idea all together? We would be moving dies across the UHMW 6 to 12 times a day.

New computer viruses? That could be nice.

My concerns are what is a good adhesive between steel and UHMW and what kind of loading issues should I be concerned about?

(put some small channels in the plastic top and hoses from the back),would probably require some valving arrangement and an air supply but it could effectively reduce the friction to about zero
