Lauramid® application example: Storage and conveying technology

Lauramid® can be found in a large number of transportation and storage systems, for example as rollers, toothed wheels and custom components.

And rollers made of Lauramid® also move the storage/retrieval systems shown in the photos, light cranes and enormous loading systems in ports etc. In these applications in particular, it is vital that the systems work without downtimes and often around the clock. Lauramid® rollers have proven their reliability in applications such as this for many years. Furthermore, the good damping characteristics of the cast polyamide also absorb the pressure from blows and impact, which often occur during handling operations.

A cast polyamide screw (5-axis cam) that places the mail in the correct position in a letter sorting plant is also an example of a transportation application.
