[![Browse Our Products](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/62516/08b25f71-daf5-4226-916d-2693bd171a1d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/62516/08b25f71-daf5-4226-916d-2693bd171a1d) ** ## 4X Component Lifespan Metal components require constant lubrication and monitoring, and even with that attention, they still wear themselves and mating components out. iNTECH’s proprietary PowerCore polymer is self-lubricating, dimensionally stable and lasts for millions of cycles, outlasting even other polymer components. Maximize Machine Uptime Gain Dimensional Stability Freedom From Contaminants Maximize Machine Uptime ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Robust Materials to Keep Your Machines Running You don’t buy a part; you buy the part’s lifecycle. Using iNTECH’s PowerCore components in your assemblies lowers your maintenance requirements across the board: - PowerCore components are self-lubricating; they’ll never fail due to a lack of lubrication and don’t require regreasing after wash-down cycles. - iNTECH polymers, like PowerCore, are better at absorbing shock and vibration compared to metal components, ensuring an extended lifespan in high-stress environments without pitting, cracking or breaking apart. - Compared to metal-on-metal contact, Intech components eliminate wear on metal components like rails and cams, putting an end to the need to replace expensive and difficult-to-access rails or cams.

For example: - iNTECH components weigh about 40% less than similarly sized metal components reducing inertia. - iNTECH proprietary polymers do not swell in the presence of moisture and are also highly resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations. - iNTECH’s PowerCore material is precision-engineered and resistant to flow, creep and flat spot development, ensuring smooth operation. Freedom From Contaminants ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Ensure Quality Our PowerCore components prevent the major causes of downtime due to product contamination: - Our components don’t wear mating components, preventing metal shavings from contaminating products. - PowerCore doesn’t require lubrication, obviating the need for hazardous and dirty lubricants. - Because they’re contaminant-free, PowerCore does away with costly product quarantines caused by particle or grease contamination.
