Material
ZX-530

Description of the application
In a demolition-equipment for car rims removal, slideways are used as linear guidesfor a special carriage with hydraulic feeding power are used.

Load
Feeding power each carriage 220 KN Advance stroke with V = 3 m/min Return stroke with V = 6 m/min

Problem
High impact load from the bursting of the rims and high overturning torque. A higher durability than other plastic material and
low maintenance operations were required.

Problem-solving
Three slideways with hardened and grounded guide rails and half rod-shaped sliding elements of ZX-530 have been used.

Working life
So far 200.000 wheels were demolished.

Advantages
Longer working life and low maintenance, easy and quick replacement of the worn sliding elements.
