Properties of Castable Materials

Casting materials offer high tensile and tear strength combined with excellent abrasion and impact resistance. The casting material is elastic and restores its original shape quickly. It is also flexible in low temperatures and has excellent sound insulation properties. 

Due to hydrostatic casting method molds are economical to manufacture.
We also offer services such mold planning and manufacturing. 

Applications

Applications for castable Soft Diamond include various drive, adhesive and reaction rollers, impellers and carry wheels, cyclones, responses and gears and bearings to be coated. A polyurethane elastomer coating can also protect various machine components, such as wear plates and slide plates.

Soft Diamond - Bearing Wheels

The expensive wheel frame has been replaced by casting the polyurethane directly on top of the bearing. The type of polyurethane can be chosen from Soft Diamond's wide selection according to desired qualities such as friction, slide or load bearing.

The bearing functions as the frame and is always protected from both sides.

Soft Diamond's bearing wheels are a cost-effective choice because they are frameless. The bearing wheel has good load bearing capabilities and the polyurethane does not scratch nor release color. Bearing wheels are also quiet, quick to replace and have high freeze resistance.

Certain chemicals and the maximum temperature of 100° C limit the use of bearing wheels. The load capacity of urethane is reliable only at the width of the bearing and exact dimensioning must be taken into consideration in manufacturing.
