Thanks to our material solutions and our specialization in high-performance thermoplastics and advanced materials, most of our products are used in applications subject to extreme stress.
The outstanding properties of these materials enable their use in heavily tribologically loaded applications or components exposed to significant temperature fluctuations. In many cases, they even offer advantages over metallic materials and can help solve existing application challenges.
Plastics are extremely versatile and are used in a wide range of industries.
With high-performance materials, solutions are now possible that were previously only feasible with metal—or not at all.
In addition to selecting the right material, plastic-compatible design is crucial to the function and performance of a component. Even with seemingly simple parts such as sealing rings or thrust washers, every detail matters.
Below is a selection from our product portfolio. These components are primarily exposed to thermal, mechanical, and/or tribological stress.
As GAPI GmbH is not limited to specific products but instead specializes in the targeted use of high-performance materials, we support you with our expertise—from the initial idea to series production.
Our three product groups are:
- Sealing rings for oil rotary joints
- Thrust washers
- Bearings
