Bearing Grade wear resistance Polyether Ether Ketone SHEET

Bearing Grade PEEK SHEET is a preferred material in various industries due to its unique performance advantages. In electronics and electrical appliances, it is favored for precision parts. In the automotive sector, it is used extensively in engine components, transmission systems, and brake systems due to its excellent sliding and friction properties, along with high strength and stiffness. The sealing industry values it for its wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Additionally, in mechanical engineering, it is widely utilized for manufacturing various mechanical parts and components, benefiting from its strength, stiffness, and wear resistance.

Use a lathe or milling machine to remove the surface heat treatment aging layer, generally removing 0.5-1mm.
For milling, choose PCD-coated tools.
For drilling, use PCD-coated drill bits, and follow the principle of drilling a pilot hole before enlarging.
During processing, ensure sufficient coolant to prevent material burning or tool sticking.
It is recommended to use water-soluble cutting fluids.

Storage Instructions:
Keep away from light, moisture, and oily substances.
If not in use, wrap it properly with film.

Notes: Frictional coefficient and wear rate were tested according to ASTM D3702, that is using thrust washer testing machine. Rubbing pair is PEEK sample thrust washer and 45# steel washer, and the contact area is 1.29cm2, and the inner diameter of the PEEK sample is 25mm. The applied load is 0.35MPa and the rubbing velocity is 2m/s.
