Applications of PEEK Machined Components
PEEK's unique blend of properties translate into a wide range of applications across diverse industries:
Aerospace
The aerospace industry utilizes PEEK components because they offer an impressive mechanical strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional resistance to radiation and chemicals. They can also endure extreme temperatures. Bearings, seals, and structural parts are all examples of PEEK products utilized in aerospace.
Automotive
PEEK components are commonly used in the automotive industry due to their remarkable ability to resist heat, chemicals, and wear. Automotive applications of PEEK components include engine parts, fuel system parts, and electrical connectors.
Electronics
PEEK has a high dielectric strength, which means it can withstand high voltages without breaking down or losing its insulating properties. It also has a low dissipation factor for an efficient transfer of electrical energy without losing any power as heat. This makes it ideal for manufacturing electrical connectors, switches, and insulators.
Industrial
The plastic’s superior chemical resistance, stability at high temperatures, and excellent wear resistance make Peek parts a practical choice for industrial manufacturers. High-temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance are hallmarks of PEEK plastic. As a result, it is frequently used in pumps, valves, seals, and other parts and products constantly exposed to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures.
Medical
Biocompatible medical-grade PEEK plastics play a vital role in the medical field. Due to their excellent strength, biocompatibility, and inherent resistance to wear, biocompatible PEEK grades are used in medical implants and devices.
