Applications

Nylon sheaves sit on bearings or axles within pulley systems. The nylon material reduces wear on the wire rope, and operators can control the direction and force necessary for lifting. At WS Hampshire, we produce custom nylon sheaves for cranes, cable stranding machines, forklifts, wire drawing machines, and other complex pulley systems.

Outrigger pads provide additional support under outriggers for heavy industrial equipment. Unlike wood pads, our composite outrigger pads are resistant to cracking, splintering, and warping. They also won’t corrode like most metals, making them a superior choice for long-term usage.

Our TIMCOLITE^® Outrigger Pads are ideal for heavy-duty equipment, including:

• Aerial fire trucks
• Cranes
• Concrete pumpers
• Digger derricks
• Forestry equipment
• Utility trucks
• Lifting equipment
• Wreckers

Bearings and bushings provide vital protection against wear and friction in pulley systems. Pulley systems have a rotating, sliding, or spinning shaft that can generate damaging friction against mating parts if not adequately shielded. Our bearings and bushings reduce friction in applications with high impact, high load, and high temperatures, as well as where metal bearings and bushings are unsuitable.

We provide our clients with standard and custom sealing gaskets and valve seats. For low-end, cost-effective solutions, we recommend acetal, nylon, or UHMW-PE seals, but high-performance thermoplastics (HPMs) are a superior option for most modern systems.

Cable pulling or tensioning rollers support electric and telecommunication lines. The rollers support or direct the line to the right location to prevent damage. Rollers include several different components, including corning arrays, corning quadrants, boom point sheaves, snatch blocks, and support blocks. Unlike metallic rollers, our cast nylon rollers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, more cost-effective, and safer for workers.

We serve aluminum and steel mill clients with specialty plastic components, such as replacement parts for steel thrust collars and drivers in roll shops. Our sturdy nylon thrust collars, tube rolls, and filler plates can increase safety and productivity in these settings because they are much more lightweight and wear-resistant than metal components.

For electronic and electrical applications, it’s important to use the right materials that properly insulate electricity. Our corrugated vulcanized fiber sheets provide a high degree of insulation and strength to be used as ducts for cooling oil in distribution transformers, power generation, and more. The sheets contain no foreign matter, optimizing their electrical properties.

At WS Hampshire, our Timcoloc^™ asphalt anchors can anchor the following equipment and structures:

• Noise barriers
• Steel plate covers during active construction
• Steel protection barriers
• Turnstiles

These components are made of carbon steel with a zinc-aluminum flake coating. The resulting anchor bolts are resistant to corrosion, provide a sturdy and long-lasting grip, and can be manufactured with matching transition collar plates and washers. Timcoloc™ asphalt anchors accelerate installation times by more than 50% compared to hot-dipped galvanized bolts and other traditional solutions.
