Marine applications

Mitsubishi Chemical Group develops solutions for marine applications, providing Specially designed sheaves for cargo containers cranes.

Marine applications

Mitsubishi Chemical Group develops solutions for marine applications, providing Specially designed sheaves for cargo containers cranes.

DETAILS

Problem: Heavy cast or stamped metal sheaves decreased performance of lifting equipment, required frequent lubrication, and shortened the life of the expensive wire rope.

Solution: Specially designed Nylatron® GSM PA6 sheaves eliminated these problems. Nylon sheaves can be easily machined or custom cast when larger series are required.

Benefits: Nylatron® GSM PA6 is seven times lighter than cast iron, thereby reducing overall weight.

Nylatron® GSM PA6 contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to enhance its load bearing capabilities while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to Nylon. It is the most commonly used grade for gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts. Nylatron® GSM PA6 is grey-black in color.

ADVANTAGES

  • Productivity increase
    • Extended Mean Time Between Repair (MTBR), therefore reduced downtime, by using longer lasting, maintenance-free self-lubricating materials
    • Longer life in use enabled by improved chemical resistance of components
  • Cost savings provided by wear enhanced products
  • Noise reduction offered through friction optimized products with non- stick-slip behavior
  • Environmentally friendly applications as a result of eliminated or substantially reduced external greasing needs
  • Safety in use by getting the optimum cost-performance solution from a wide range of products
