UHMW-PE SHEAVES

 

B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply custom sheaves are machined from extreme

wear-resistant UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight) polyethylene.

UHMW-PE sheaves are lightweight and cost-effective manufacturing

material which offers reduced friction and longer life in comparison to

other materials.

 

Features of UHMW-PE 

  • Good chemical and moisture resistance

  • Continuous working temperature range of -22° to 180°F

  • Heat and cold resistance

  • Self-lubricating

  • Excellent dielectric characteristics

  • High stress and crack resistance

  • Shatter resistance

  • Noise-damping characteristics

 

UHMW-PE provides excellent impact, abrasion and chemical resistance. UHMW-PE has excellent electrical properties. UHMW is a popular sheave material, mainly due to its inherent lubricity and low coefficient of friction.
