PEEK CNC Components Customed For Industrial Robot Casing And Bearing Components

What is PEEK Manufacturing?

PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance (up to 250 ° C for long-term use), chemical corrosion resistance, and low friction coefficient. It has high strength, high rigidity, excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, as well as good electrical insulation and dimensional stability. PEEK is widely used in aerospace, medical equipment, automotive, electronics, and chemical industries, and is a leader in high-end engineering plastics,It can even replace many metal.

PEEK Components, Applications & Industries

Despite being an essential material for manufacturing, it is crucial to use PEEK only, where you will get operational benefits from its applications. Here, we will mention some components and industries where PEEK is appropriate.

However, you must note that this list is not exhaustive. You may need to talk to our experts to get you through your projects.

Oil and Gas

Downhole tools in the oil and gas sector endure harsh conditions like high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. Where traditional materials fail, PEEK valves excel due to their superior chemical resistance and heat tolerance. These valves efficiently regulate fluid flow, enhancing extraction safety. Their durability leads to extended operational life, reducing frequent replacements and upkeep.

Medical

In the medical field, PEEK is prominently used for orthopaedic and spinal implants, especially in spinal fusion surgeries for conditions like degenerative disc disease. Damaged discs are replaced with PEEK cages, often filled with bone grafts to encourage fusion. PEEK’s biocompatibility prevents adverse reactions, and its radiolucent nature allows clear imaging post-surgery. Its mechanical properties mimic natural bone, ensuring support and flexibility.

Aerospace

Aircraft components, especially those in the engine and cabin areas, must withstand extreme conditions while being lightweight. PEEK is used to manufacture cable sheaths and insulation in aircraft. Its lightweight nature contributes to fuel efficiency, while its heat resistance ensures safety and durability. For instance, PEEK composites replace metal in certain aircraft parts, reducing weight without compromising strength.

Electronics

PEEK’s excellent electrical insulation properties make it a prime choice for connectors, insulators, and cable insulation in electronics. For instance, PEEK wafer carriers are used in semiconductor production because they can withstand aggressive chemicals and high temperatures in chip fabrication.

Automotive

The automotive industry continuously seeks materials to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. PEEK makes components like gears, thrust washers, and seal rings. Its ability to reduce friction and wear, combined with its thermal stability, makes it ideal for parts that experience high stress in engines and transmissions.

Why Choose PEEK for Robot? Where is the Charm of PEEK?

With the rapid development of the robotics industry, the selection of raw materials for robot parts has become increasingly competitive. Traditional metals, due to their heavy weight, are no longer suitable for new demands. PEEK stands out as the preferred choice for robot shells and internal bearing parts due to its ultra-high performance comparable to metals and lightweight properties of plastics
