Mechanical Applications

The ideal material solution for your mechanical tasks – from sliding plates to brakes

Our mechanical portfolio includes specialized products developed for extreme operating conditions and maximum efficiency. In addition to high-quality sliding plates that prove their resistance in chemical and petrochemical applications, the Schunk Group is also a leading manufacturer of brake components for wind turbines, engineered to reduce wear and extend service life. Our flange lubrication systems enhance the lifespan of rail vehicles by reducing wear at the wheel-rail interface, delivering reliable performance even under harsh conditions. Our experts provide personalized consultation to help you develop the ideal material solution for your specific needs – whether it’s sliding rings for high-performance pumps, seals for the chemical industry, or friction components for wind energy systems.

 Three brush types for electric motors: graphite brush, metal-graphite brush, and integrated brush holder with spring.

Wheel flange lubrication

Friction, noise, and excessive wear on crane wheels? Not with us. Schunk’s solid lubricant solution reduces operating costs, extends wheel life, and ensures low-noise operation – completely oil-free. Discover the advantages of our intelligent flange lubrication system today!

Seals

Our seals withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, increasing their service life and reducing maintenance costs. In dusty environments or when exposed to abrasive fluids, they provide reliable sealing and protect your equipment effectively. For the food industry, we offer FDA-certified, food-grade seals that perform reliably even under dry-run conditions and protect your products from contamination.

Sliding rings, bearings & blanks

Our sliding rings and bearings minimize friction and wear under extreme conditions. The innovative SiC30 material – a fusion of carbon and silicon carbide – offers outstanding abrasion and corrosion resistance. These features extend the service life of pumps and compressors, optimize performance, and reduce maintenance costs, resulting in more efficient equipment operation.

Sleeves

Our carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sleeves provide excellent resistance to wear and chemical corrosion. Their high mechanical strength makes them ideal for high-speed applications such as reinforcing sleeves in permanent magnet motors. They improve system efficiency, maximize uptime, increase productivity, and lower operating costs.
