Oscillating movements, lubricant loss, bearing failure or foreign matter introduction – typical causes for wear-and-tear on expensive hydraulic pistons or rotationally-symmetric design elements.
Due to risk of distortion, conventional thermal and mechanical repair methods often cannot be used. Cost, availability, downtimes – all call for alternative technologies for component regeneration.

The synthetic non-metal character enable the implementation of alternative repair processes. Bearing journals for example may be molded precisely to shape using a matrix process in installed condition - without mechanical machining. MetaLine Series XL products are particularly suitable for repairing shafts operated as a mating surface with sliding bearings or for use with gland seals or mechanical seals.
MetaLine Series XL are ceramic-based repair materials for professional use on damaged or no longer dimensionally stable components – a feasible, modern alternative method. Thus, for instance, bearing journals can be molded accurately when installed using a matrix process – without mechanical processing. The compounds are particularly suitable for repairing shafts operated as a mating surface with a plain bearing or in the gland and sealing area. MetaLine repair ceramics do not develop their strength through hardness, but through honing and lapping behaviour which polishes and levels the counter surface. The constructive wear potential is thus almost neutralized. At the same time, the XL series is more wear resistant than a typical metallic shaft material - but NOT harder!
