Re: [FTC]: How to attach delrin to aluminum?

Thanks for your response.

We are discussing using the slide to as part of an elevator/forklift assembly (ala http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...s%2Fforklifts). I was surprised when you said the rules may not allow using delren. My reading of <R5> c. 1. (Any non-reinforced polymer-based plastic sheet material may be used …) would allow it. The rule goes on to limit the plastic sheets to a thickness of 0.125” though we may laminate them together to a thickness of up to 0.5”. I guess we could laminate the delrin and counter sink the bolt heads but we were hoping for a simpler way to attach the delrin to an aluminum frame without the bulk of laminated delrin. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Dave
