Ways to lessen wear caused by a steel fixture
Hi,
I am trying to design a precision fixture that will mount on various aluminum fixtures a couple of thousand times.
I am concerned by previous similar projects that resulted in the aluminum frames wearing after 6-8 months, resulting in lower precision and consistency.
I have looked into using a plastic coating, namely PEEK and PTFE, to help prevent damage to the aluminum frames by the steel fixture. While this would work, the plastic will wear off over time still. So, it fixes one issue and creates another.
Does anyone have any experience with prevent a steel fixture from causing wear? Thanks!
