Component Specifications

Definition
An internal liner or coating applied to the interior surface of guide tubes in industrial machinery to protect against abrasion, corrosion, and chemical attack while ensuring smooth material flow and reducing friction between the tube and conveyed materials. This component extends equipment lifespan, maintains dimensional accuracy, and prevents contamination in precision manufacturing processes.
Working Principle
The liner/coating creates a protective barrier between the guide tube substrate and conveyed materials through either physical attachment (liner) or chemical bonding (coating). It reduces direct contact, minimizes wear through sacrificial protection or hard surface properties, and maintains consistent internal dimensions by preventing substrate degradation.
Materials
Polyurethane (PU), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), Ceramic coatings (Al2O3, Cr2O3), Hard chrome plating, Tungsten carbide coatings, Epoxy composites
Technical Parameters
  • Hardness 60-90 Shore D / 800-2000 HV
  • Thickness 0.5-5.0 mm
  • Bond Strength >15 MPa
  • Surface Roughness Ra 0.1-0.8 μm
  • Temperature Range -40°C to +250°C
Standards
ISO 2409, ISO 4624, DIN 55662, ASTM D4060, ASTM D3359

  • Chemical degradation from incompatible materials
  • Reduced flow efficiency from surface damage
  • Contamination from liner/coating particles
FMEA Triads
Trigger: Inadequate surface preparation before application
Failure: Coating delamination or poor adhesion
Mitigation: Follow manufacturer surface preparation guidelines, use proper cleaning and roughening techniques, verify surface profile before application
Trigger: Excessive abrasive material flow
Failure: Accelerated wear and thickness reduction
Mitigation: Select harder coating materials (ceramic, tungsten carbide), implement material flow control, regular thickness monitoring
Trigger: Chemical exposure beyond material limits
Failure: Chemical degradation and loss of protective properties
Mitigation: Verify chemical compatibility charts, implement secondary containment, use chemical-resistant materials (PTFE, specialized epoxies)
