UHMW POLYETHYLENE TUBE 1.750 O.D. X 1.250 I.D.
Condition : NEW / EXCELLENT / 100 % VIRGIN UHMW POLYETHYLENE
GAR-DUR, UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) PLASTIC TUBE STOCK
1.250 I.D tube stock manufactured by Garland Manufacturing company, GAR-DUR®
UHMW plastic products are highly abrasion resistant with an extremely low coefficient
of friction and high impact strength. New this tube stock sells for just under 10 bucks
Continental US. You can find out more about this material by clicking HERE and it's
many applications by clicking HERE. Thanks to its extremely low coefficient of friction
(0.14), the polymer easily outperforms steel in sliding applications. Its inherent lubricity
minimizes the heat-generating friction, which gradually destroys steel parts, and ensures
smooth, noiseless operation. Withstands sand, grit, and corrosion at sub-zero temps.
Gar-Dur extrusions have long been used as snow slides protecting the frame in snow
mobile drive suspension systems-a tough endurance test for any material. Not only does
the plastic withstand the constant abrasive friction of the vehicle's traction drive belt
high-speed drive chain, it must perform in an extremely harsh environment. UHMW
stands up to sand, grit, water and ice that would quickly destroy a lesser material. And it
does it at sub-zero temperatures. This kind of durability, low friction and wear resistance
are key reasons why Gar-Dur is the material of choice in so many other applications.
Here is a brief sampling: Lodging & pulp - Conveyor wear plates; Automotive - Rider
plates for assembly lines; Ironire - Idler rollers for conveyors; Bottling & canning - Guide
shoes for pallitizers; Waste water treatment - wear strips and shoes. Machined Parts
Sprockets, wheels, bearings, and many other component parts can be fabricated from
Gar-Dur UHMW for applications as diverse as railroad cars, spacecraft, and hydroelectric
plants. The plastic can be machined into virtually anything, from small gears and bearings
to huge sprockets-shapes that until recently were only possible with metals. Ease of
machining cuts costs. UHMW not only outperforms metal in abrasion applications, it's also
easier to machine and therefore cheaper. Using special CNC lathes and milling machines,
the versatile polymer can be milled, planed, sawed, drilled, and turned to create a huge
variety of parts at a very competitive price. Applications for machined parts include:
Food packaging - Chain belt guides - Sprockets for conveyors; Railroad cars - Flanged
rollers; Chemical processing - Pistons, valves, bearings; Textiles - Industrial loom pickers;
Waste water treatment - chain drive sprockets; NASA spacecraft - pinion gear for fuel cell.
Handy stuff to have around if you need to machine a high wear bushing or chain guide on
your Hardinge, Mazak, Haas, Daewoo, Monarch, Okuma, Leadwell, Clausing, Bridgeport,
Republic Lagun, Acer, Jet, Hurco, Chevalier, Summit, Colechester or similar machines.
