Metal-protection blocks are primarily delivered in block-form with steel mountings and consis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and some other components that support optimum friction coefficients. 

Metal-protection blocks coat metal surfaces with a very hard and solid protection layer of 0,005 to 0,01 mm.

This layer produces a constant friction coefficient depending on the load

• in case of lubrication blocks type 10036 and HG045 a low friction coefficient of 0,05 (manual lubrication with its disadvantages is redundant), the wear on treads is reduced considerably. 

• in case of adhesion blocks type 10035 a higher friction coefficient  with adhesive function of 0,30 – 0,70 – dynamic friction coefficient, further protects the surfaces of flaking and wear. 

Respective steel mountings with spring steel compartment are included. The mounting is easy and cost-effective.

As for asphalt mixing plants tests have shown a three-times extended maintenance interval of drive and support gears as well as races. 

Characteristics of wear-protection blocks:

• dry, dust repellant, do not drip or drift  
• work longterm and without maintenance 
• coat dry and continuously 
• waterproof
• resistant to high temperatures (300 ºC); 
• environmentally friendly (WHC 1)

Application possibilities: 

• support and drive gears
• races, slewing rings
• pressure gears in rotary kilns 
• dryers, mills
• cranes and railbound conveyors (i.e. high-bay warehouses) 
• pulleys in wire-rope installations 
• wheels of locomotive or wagon, etc.
