    PIONEERING
    THERMOPL ASTIC TEC HNOLOGY
    Devol are a forward-thinking company
    with down-to-earth values, reflected in
    our company policy:

    • Adopt a pro-active approach to providing


    engineering solutions
    • Value Engineering – optimised design for
    purpose and manufacture
    • Strategic re-investment –
    quality/capacity/new technology
    • Continuous process improvement through
    all departments
    • Training and personal development
    • Zero defect culture
    The Devlon range of
    thermoplastics has
    distinct advantages
    over other materials...

    Our comprehensive range of engineering


    thermoplastics are amongst the toughest
    and hardest wearing available. Produced
    by monomer casting and extrusion, they
    provide a comprehensive range of wear
    resistance, impact strength and toughness
    with almost limitless application potential.

    The advantages are clear:

    less expensive
    1/6th the weight of bronze
    zero corrosion
    low friction
    resistant to shock loading
    significantly improved lifespan
    exceptional resistance to wear
    does not support marine growth

    Typical applications include bushes, crane
    The material can be produced by extrusion sheaves, rollers/wheels, racks and pinions,
    or monomer casting, providing a clamps and bearing rings.

    optimum performance in rigorous and
    In addition to offering substantial benefits abrasive applications at ambient temperatures.
    over traditional materials, our components are
    manufactured precisely to customer Typical applications include bearings, rollers,
    specification and as such are directly pulleys, thrust plates, seal rings and gears.
    interchangeable with existing parts.
    Devlon V-API gives similar performance levels
    to S-grade, but has been specifically tailored
    for high temperature/high pressure
    applications. Dimensional stability is a
    particular feature of this material due to it’s
    especially low moisture absorption, making it
    ideal for offshore applications where weight-
    saving, non-corrosive and impact wear
    properties are imperative.

    Typical applications include valve seat inserts,


    bundle spacers, tubing hanger centralisers,
    cable protectors and hot stabs.

    Devlube is a self-lubricating material ideally


    suited for dry-running applications requiring
    low friction and where lubrication is not
    possible. Reduced wear through lower
    friction means excellent retention of physical
    properties and very little maintenance is
    required for this material.

    Typical applications include wear pads, cam


    followers, worm screws, bearing blocks and
    conveyor components.
    Devlon A153 is a specially formulated high In addition to our Devlon range of specifically
    viscosity Nylon 66, giving superior wear formulated materials and where applications

    accurately in applications involving thermal UHMWPE – exceptional toughness, low
    cycling. A153 has a maximum operating friction, high impact strength, good abrasion
    temperature of between 90°C and 120°C, resistance.
    compared to 85°C for standard grade Nylon 66.
    Acetal – reasonable load capacity, easily
    Typical applications include journal bearings, machined, dimensional stability, high strength
    thrust washers, bearing cages, rollers/wheels, and stiffness.
    piston seats and wear pads.
    PTFE – chemically inert, high temperature
    range, low friction, limited load capacity,
    high thermal co-efficient of expansion.

    PEEK – good radiation resistance, high


    operating temperature, good electrical
    properties, chemical resistance, good load
    bearing, but can be expensive.

    Outstanding products
    backed by years
    of experience...
    Established in 1966, Devol are fully equipped Some of our more common applications can
    to be able to conduct business and export be found in the following industries:
    on a worldwide basis. Our global customer
    base has grown steadily and we supply into oil and gas
    a great diversity of industries. heavy automotive and lifting
    earth moving and mining/quarrying
    Devol’s materials and components are agricultural machinery
    specified and used extensively by a broad hydraulic equipment
    range of OEMs engaged in the design, defence industries
    manufacture and repair of equipment and
    machinery. Throughout these industries our materials
    encounter a range of extremely demanding
    operating environments. It is therefore
    imperative that our design and specification
    process is exacting.

    Providing complete turnkey packages


    in-house, we give a total solution to our
    customer’s requirements.

    Prototype designs are visualised,


    manipulated and modified using the latest
    3D solid modelling techniques, therefore
    reducing the necessity to produce early
    prototypes.

    The ability to carry out finite element analysis,


    solid modelling and kinematic simulation
    allows us to validate that components within
    customers assemblies fit together without
    fouling at the design stage – before any
    investment in tooling. Application of these
    techniques not only allows us to maximise
    new designs, but enables us to troubleshoot
    and improve existing componentry.

    When the design has been optimised the


    relevant manufacturing data is output to the
    machine shop.
    Devol use the most modern CNC lathes and
    milling machines during manufacture to
    provide expedient and cost effective
    component production.

    Dimensional stability within close tolerances


    for complex components is achieved by
    interstage annealing. This treatment
    guarantees safe and reliable components
    with maximum life expectancy.

    Recognising that Quality is of the highest


    importance, Devol is certified to and operates
    within the scope of BS EN ISO 9001:2000
    (registered firm reference number FM09064).
    Devol operates a process-based management
    system and actively supports a culture of
    continuous improvement.
