Averaging Beam Sensor 36-beam Average Beam Controller Balance Beam for Asphalt Paver

Extremely High Wear Resistance:

• Made from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) or similar high-performance engineering plastics.

• This material has an extremely low coefficient of friction and outstanding wear resistance, offering a much longer service life than standard nylon or metal parts. It maintains dimensional stability over long periods, reducing replacement frequency.

Excellent Self-Lubrication:

• The material is inherently self-lubricating, requiring no external grease during operation.

• This is critical because grease contamination on the asphalt mat can lead to poor binder adhesion and create quality defects.

Non-Marking & Surface Protection:

• Compared to metal, the engineering plastic is softer and will not scratch or damage the finished asphalt surface. This is particularly important for protecting the fresh, tender mat that has just been laid.

Corrosion Resistance & Impact Strength:

• Highly resistant to water, chemicals (fuel, oil), making it suitable for harsh job site conditions.

• Offers good impact strength and shock absorption, cushioning the equipment from vibrations caused by an uneven surface.

Lightweight:

• Significantly lighter than metal skis, reducing operator fatigue and making installation and replacement easier.
