Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Dover Precision Components, part of Dover (NYSE:
DOV), today announced the expansion of its TruTech™ materials
brand, delivering the latest advances in polymer science to enhance
the performance and reliability of critical components in rotating
and reciprocating machinery.

Dover Precision Components has made significant investments in
its Materials Technology initiative to fully integrate materials
research with engineering expertise and practical experience in
machinery applications. As part of this, a world-class team of
material scientists has been assembled to develop proprietary
TruTech polymeric materials, optimize process parameters and ensure
product quality. With a dedicated materials laboratory featuring
state-of-the-art mechanical, chemical, optical and thermal analysis
equipment, as well as advanced friction and wear testing, the team
has the necessary tools to fully evaluate materials and their
signature properties. In addition, the recently constructed Dover
Precision Components Innovation Lab allows for testing in
real-world environments to transform material properties into
customer benefits.
The TruTech portfolio includes materials formulated to extend
the service life and performance of Cook Compression sealing
components, Waukesha Bearings fluid film bearing products,
Inpro/Seal Bearing Isolators and Air Mizer shaft seals. As a result
of recent investments, the Dover Precision Components Materials
Technology initiative has already developed new manufacturing
methods to provide greater freedom to product development
engineers. The investments have also enabled the expansion of the
TruTech portfolio with new materials for use in high-pressure,
non-lubricated reciprocating compressor applications.
"The investments made in our TruTech materials have
differentiated us in the market and provided us with a significant
advantage in meeting customer needs for performance in demanding
operating conditions," said Jane
Kober, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation for Dover
Precision Components. "Our expertise enables us to develop, test
and deliver reliable solutions using the most advanced polymer
materials, and positions us to serve the next generation of
reciprocating and rotating machinery."
TruTech materials are designed for optimum performance
characteristics in a variety of operating conditions and have
decades of proven success in the field. They are formulated from
high performance polymers, such as PTFE, PEEK, UHMWPE, PPS,
polyimide and other high-temperature aromatic polymer materials, in
combination with state-of-the-art fillers, carefully selected and
formulated to satisfy application requirements. All formulation,
manufacturing and testing are done in-house to ensure high-quality
standards and full traceability.
Broad research and development capabilities allow complete
control of the material development process from material
composition and processing to manufacturing and product testing.
Maintaining these capabilities in-house provides Dover Precision
Components the flexibility to customize material solutions for
specific applications and operating environments. New materials
receive intensive laboratory analysis and undergo comprehensive
testing before release into the field.
The Dover Precision Components Materials Technology initiative
is also currently developing material solutions to extend the
useful life of reciprocating compressor packing rings, wiper rings,
piston rings and rider rings, as well as enhance performance in
non-lubricated environments and process gases, such as
hydrogen.
