ELESA's new STP threaded stems, designed for leveling equipment and machinery, are crafted entirely of SUPER-Technopolymer. A state-of-the-art polymeric plastic material boasts high mechanical performance, excellent resistance to chemical agents, and optimal thermal properties.
Driving the development of the range is the widespread metal-replacement trend. Impacting an increasing number of sectors today. Replacing metals with engineered plastics has been possible thanks to high performance polymers and composites. These materials, known for their mechanical strength and temperature resistance, have opened up new applications that were traditionally the domain of metals.

The new STP stems, available in different lengths and with threads from M8 to M12, guarantee a maximum static load resistance ranging from 2700 N for the smallest sizes up to 7000 N for the largest.
The mechanical resistance is complimented by the numerous advantages typical of the SUPER-Technopolymer category. Let’s take a closer look at them:
- High mechanical resistance, thanks to the inclusion of high percentages of glass fiber bonded with appropriate chemical primers to the base polymer and/or the presence of synthetic aramid fiber.
- Resistance to corrosion and common chemical agents, making them suitable for applications requiring frequent washing, such as in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries, or for use in humid environments or outdoors.
- Lightness, making transport, storage, and handling more economical, especially beneficial for applications involving mobile machines or equipment.
