PEEK (polyetheretherketone) gears are made from high-performance PEEK plastic. PEEK is a specialty engineering plastic that is heat-resistant, self-lubricating, chemically stable, and mechanically strong. It is often used to replace metal gears, particularly in applications requiring weight reduction, noise reduction, and improved wear and corrosion resistance.
The advantages of PEEK gears include:
High-temperature resistance: PEEK gears maintain their performance in high-temperature environments, making them suitable for high-temperature operating environments.
Self-lubrication: PEEK material is self-lubricating, allowing it to operate without additional lubrication, reducing maintenance requirements.
Chemical stability: PEEK gears offer excellent resistance to most chemicals, making them suitable for use in corrosive environments.
High mechanical strength: PEEK gears offer similar mechanical strength to metal gears, yet are lighter.
Reduced noise: PEEK gears operate quietly, making them suitable for applications requiring quiet operation.
