Customised, mechanically manufactured sliding blocks for lifting platform

We were able to help our customer, a well-known manufacturer of products for vehicle testing and workshop equipment, with our RN44 material for the new design of a 2-column lifting platform for motor vehicles. The customer needed a sliding block to guide the linear units in the columns. The task of this component is to absorb radial and axial forces, depending on the load position. The aim was to find a material with good friction and wear values. We were not only able to provide the customer with our bar stock, but also deliver the mechanically finished component. This was manufactured from an iglidur bar stock plate using a CNC milling machine.
