PEEK bearings, a special engineering plastic with high strength and excellent wear resistance, are suitable for various harsh environments

Bearings are an important component in contemporary mechanical equipment. Their main function is to support the rotating body of the machinery, reduce the friction coefficient during its motion, and ensure its rotational accuracy. The selection of resin for mechanical components first depends on the market demand for bearing components, the required material mechanical properties, chemical properties, and other physical properties that need to be clearly defined. At the same time, meeting the unique functional requirements of the parts is also an important element, and the physical properties of PEEK materials can be overcome, achieving a pleasing effect of balance and lightweight.

With the rapid development of the Chinese market, the demand for PEEK plastic used in mechanical component materials has sharply increased. The lightweight of PEEK engineering plastics is considered a particularly excellent choice, and bearings made of PEEK material have many advantages compared to ordinary bearings.

PEEK bearings have excellent wear resistance in many extremely harsh environments such as high temperature, high load, and strong corrosion. PEEK composites and their composite materials have excellent wear resistance. High strength has the best mechanical strength among plastics. At the same time, it also has high rigidity and surface hardness, which enables the high-speed rotation of bearings and can effectively withstand their pressure.

PEEK bearings have a low coefficient of friction and can achieve oil-free lubrication. They can work for a long time in media such as oil, water, steam, weak acids, and alkalis, making them particularly suitable for the internal environment of the vehicle.

PEEK bearings are easy to machine and can be directly processed into parts using injection molding technology. They can be machined by turning, milling, drilling, tapping, bonding, and ultrasonic welding, and are suitable for customizing various types of bearings. They have low smoke and toxic gas emissions during low smoke and non-toxic combustion, ensuring their safety even outside of business.

PEEK bearings are certified by UL for their high temperature resistance, with a long-term use temperature of 260 ° C. Even at temperatures as high as 300 ° C, they can still maintain excellent mechanical function.

PEEK bearings are corrosion-resistant and insoluble in ordinary solvents, and have good corrosion resistance to various organic and inorganic chemical reagents.

PEEK bearings are resistant to hydrolysis when immersed in steam at temperatures exceeding 250 ° C or in high-pressure water. PEEK products can still work continuously for thousands of hours without significant functional degradation. Electrical functions can maintain stable and excellent performance over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
