The LiNNOTAM range of cast polyamides from international manufacturer and fabricator of engineering plastics Licharz is a member of the Wearlon family of engineered plastics suitable for OEM use and metal replacement in applications involving transmission of mechanical force and minimising friction.

Applications where the Wearlon family offers optimum benefits include cranes and lifting equipment, materials handling machinery including conveyors as well as fixed and mobile plant extending from mineral processing equipment and power generation.

Available in various grades for different purposes, Wearlon LiNNOTAM metal-replacement materials offer especially long service lives and are easy to machine to custom-fabricated shapes, according to Cut to Size NSW manager Pat Flood.

Cut to Size manufactures components such as sheaves, rollers, gears and wear components for applications across Australasia from its Sydney plant, where facilities include CNC machining facilities coupled with GibbsCAM and Solidworks software.

“Steel wire ropes are important and highly stressed machine elements in force transmission and conveying technology,” Flood said.

“In many cases, large plants depends on their functioning not only for efficiency but also safety. Wearlon can extend lifespan and enhance safety by reducing maintenance and preserving structural integrity for longer.”
