Gore GR Sheet Gasketing is designed to outperform both conventional (filled and skived) PTFE and other ePTFE gasketing in steel piping and equipment. It has the chemical resistance of conventional PTFE sheet gasketing without the creek and cold flow commonly associated with that material. Gore GR Sheet Gasketing is stronger and has more dimensional stability than other ePTFE gaskets. It is highly conformable to rough or irregular sealing surfaces and compresses into an extremely tough gasket that creates a tight, long-lasting seal.
Machine designers are increasingly turning to gearheads to take advantage of the latest advances in servo motor technology. Essentially, a gearhead converts high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque output. A servo motor provides highly accurate positioning of its output shaft. When these two devices are paired with on another, they enhance each other’s strengths, providing controlled motion that is precise, robust and reliable.
