Achieving lightweight and insulation simultaneously with metal substitution.
■Resin (Insulation) Bushings
At Hiroki Sugeki, we offer a wide variety of "resin bushings," essential for protecting bearing parts and mounting holes, as well as for insulation measures, with over 3,000 items, making us a top player in the industry.
From highly versatile Duracon and ABS to high-heat and high-strength PEEK, and chemical-resistant PTFE and PPS, we can meticulously select the optimal material according to the installation environment. In addition to standard "bushings," we also provide "flanged bushings" that enhance the stability of the seating surface, ensuring precise responses to design requirements down to the millimeter.
■Case Studies and Problem Solving
By introducing resin bushings, we can efficiently solve design challenges such as the following:
- Insulation measures against metal contact: By inserting a bushing between metal screws and metal housings, we can reliably prevent electrical short circuits.
- Reduction of friction and smooth operation: Utilizing the low friction coefficient properties of PTFE and Duracon, we minimize wear on sliding parts and extend the lifespan of moving mechanisms.
- Weight reduction and cost reduction: By replacing metal bushings, we achieve both overall weight reduction and cost optimization for the product.
- Chemical and environmental resistance: With PEEK and PPS, we can accommodate industrial equipment that requires exposure to chemical substances or use in high-temperature environments.
