BNL is set to expand its research into polymer tribology and its application to plastic bearings and related components with the support of the British Gear Association and the foundation of a New Technology Centre (NTC) for tribological research.
The initial focus of the NTC will be the expansion of laboratory facilities and the development of BNL’s current capabilities, not only in plastic bearings but also plastic shafts and polymer gears.
"We were absolutely delighted when BNL decided to join the BGA [last] summer," said Andy Harry, BGA technical executive. "We have a strong technical relationship with BNL going back some seven years. We look forward to further developing this already strong relationship to work with BNL in a number of key areas such as R&D, knowledge transfer seminars and ISO Standards.”
Kevin Smith, new technology manager and BNL’s specialist in polymer gear technology, is heading up the NTC programme.
“The support of the BGA in our development of polymer gearing is gratefully received,” said Smith. “The work undertaken by the New Technology Centre will expand BNL’s capabilities to allow us to provide more added-value solutions per product, reducing component count and related part, assembly and maintenance costs for our customers.”
