Alumina - Optimum contact material for low friction
Alumina - Optimum contact material for low friction
(OP)
I have an alumina datum bar on which a carriage slides. The carriage incorporates pads which slide on the alumina surface.
I am looking to improve the material choice of the pads to give the "better" low friction/low wear combination.
Any hard evidence would be ideal as time for testing is limited.
Current pad material is Delrin.
Many thanks

I am based in the UK and not familiar with COORS.
Do you have a contact?
Many thanks
