High Impact Resistant Polymer
High Impact Resistant Polymer
(OP)
We have a shaft which moves around within the confines of a limit ring inside a large tank.
As the shaft rotates, it bends and jumps around due to deflection and the ring ensures it doesnt move to far. However the shaft and ring are getting some serious damage as they hit.
Are there any good high impact resistant (assume unfactored horizontal load of about 23kN) that will not wear away or chip off during operation.
Kind regards all,

If this is for a one-off, "machine it up" job, I would have thought Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene would do nicely. (UHMWPE for the acronym and your Google search)

Also keep it close to the shaft and back it up with steel if possible.

The surface of a sphere with an infinite diameter, I guess?

Some days you just need to go home and have a beer. Yesterday was one of those.
