Checklist for selecting PTFE balls, gaskets, and bushings — pressure, media, temperature, and supplier qualification.

Contact HEMSUN ENGG. INDUSTRIES for expert guidance on PTFE products and hydraulic machinery.

Selection workflow

Define media, temperature, pressure, motion type (static/dynamic), and required life. Map these to virgin, filled, or machined geometry.

Forms and processes

Rods, sheets, seals, and balls each suit different assemblies — browse virgin and filled catalogs.

Custom parts

When catalog items do not fit, submit drawings for custom PTFE parts with tolerance and inspection requirements.

Quality Assurance, Testing Protocols & Traceability

  1. Dimensional CMM Profilometry: Critical diameters, concentricity, and sphericity are verified on coordinate measuring machines against drawing nominals.
  2. Dielectric Breakdown Voltage Testing: High-voltage spark testing screens moulded parts for micro-voids, pinholes, and internal conductive inclusions before dispatch.
  3. Specific Gravity & Density Verification: Water displacement density checks according to ASTM D792 ensure full preform compaction and complete oven gel sintering.
  4. Certificate of Compliance & MTR: Every dispatch includes mill test certificates confirming raw resin lot traceability, filler content, and tensile/elongation values.

Installation, Machining & Maintenance Recommendations

  • Tooling Geometry for Machining: Use polished tungsten carbide (C2 grade) or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts with high positive top rake angles (15° to 25°) and sharp cutting edges to prevent material smearing.
  • Feed & Speed Rates: High spindle speeds (200 to 450 m/min) combined with moderate feed rates (0.05 to 0.15 mm/rev) ensure mirror surface finishes without localized frictional heating.
  • Coolant Application: Water-soluble synthetic coolants or clean air blast prevent thermal expansion during high-speed CNC turning and milling passes.
