Materials
ACM manufacture, and continually develop, a comprehensive range of fibre reinforced, resin bonded composite materials which are ideally suited to highly loaded bearing applications in a wide variety of environments. We offer an ever increasing range of over 30 different materials, with the constituents, including graphite, PTFE and molybdenum disulphide solid lubricants, tailored to the specific requirements of your application. These include...
L1 General Engineering
The L1 range of materials represent our entry level composites.
L4 & L7 Enhanced Engineering
Our L4 and L7 range of composite materials offer improved mechanical properties and temperature stability over the L1 range.
L2 Marine Composites
We have developed the L2 range to offer optimum performance in marine applications. ACM's
L2 Marine grade is the only composite approved for wet and dry running in rudder applications.
L10 High Temperature
L10 composites are our high temperature range and include L10K which offers improved hoop strength for highly loaded applications.
L14 Hydraulic
L14 is the designation of our wear strip material. ACM wear strip is available in 5 m coils, starting at a width of 5 mm and available in thickness between 2 mm and 5 mm thick. Available various fillers and in your corporate colours.
L15 Low Friction
L15 is ACM's lowest friction material range. The L15 provides a low friction surface and is used in conjunction with L1, L4 or L7 which provide the bearing surface.
LNF
LNF is our latest material, developed as an alternative to nylon felt based composites but with improved performance over the existing materials particularly in arduous applications. Read
