PEEK VICTREX™ Gear Solutions

Gears are mechanical parts with teeth that mesh with each other. The gear transmission mainly relies on the wheel rim with teeth, continuous meshing between the two gears to transmit motion, the middle of the non-stop operation, which requires the production of its material strength to be hard enough, the surface should be smooth, to reduce friction between the resulting wear, we usually use the most used material is metal plastic gears are mainly used for transmission, PEEK gears in the production of gears are also increasingly widely used.Compared to metal gears, PEEK gears are superior in their excellent wear resistance and fatigue resistance. Gears made of PEEK are self-lubricating and do not require any added lubricant, and their surfaces are quite smooth, with small molecular spacing and small hot-wire coefficients, so even if the two gears are constantly grinding, their losses are relatively minimal, greatly reducing maintenance costs.PEEK machined part CNC part

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Maintains wear resistance and mechanical strength up to 480°F continuous use. PEEK is the performance material of choice for aggressive environments such as high temperatures, wet processes, and heavy loads.POLYETHERETHERKETONE fabrication Parts

PEEK gears are widely used because of their light weight, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics.PEEK valve

Advantage of PEEK gear 

1. Easy to process, its material has fluidity, can be injection molding, machining, molding and other ways can make relatively complex gears. In particular, gears with high precision tooth cutting or with special tooth shape, metal gears require high-precision machine tools, special tools and measuring instruments to ensure their shape, manufacturing processes are complex and costly.

2. Oil and dirt resistance, hydrolysis resistance, PEEK material has a unique resistance to chemical corrosion, in addition to strong acids, ordinary chemicals do not play any role in it, but also by the chemical impact of water and high-pressure water vapor, its chemical properties are particularly stable.

3. High temperature, high pressure, in high temperature and high pressure environment can be used continuously and maintain good mechanical properties, any can maintain its molecular stability, long-term use of the temperature up to 260 ° C.

4. Difficult to spontaneous combustion, with self-extinguishing, even without any flame retardant, can reach the UL standard 94V-0 level.

In all industries, there is an increasing demand for high-performance, high-precision gears that are reliable even in demanding operating environments...So, PEEK is a reliable choice.

Compared with metal gears, PEEK gears offer a number of performance advantages: 70% less weight; 80% reduction in inertia; NVH(Noise,Vibration&Harshness) is reduced by 3 dB, that means it’s reduced by 50%; Chemical corrosion resistance, good reliability in harsh environments.

◆ High temperature resistance - the long-term use temperature of the US UL certification is 260 ℃. Even when the temperature is as high as 300 ℃, it can still maintain good mechanical properties.
◆ Wear resistance - PEEK polymer and its composite materials have good wear resistance in many extremely harsh application environments such as high temperature, high load, and strong corrosion.
◆ Self-lubricating - with low friction coefficient, it can realize oil-free lubrication, and can work for a long time in medium such as oil, water, steam, weak acid and alkali.
◆ Corrosion resistance - insoluble in common solvents, it has good corrosion resistance to various organic and inorganic chemical reagents.
◆ High strength - has good mechanical strength in plastics. It also has high rigidity and surface hardness.
◆ Easy to process - parts can be directly processed by injection molding process. Post-processing such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, bonding and ultrasonic welding can be performed.
◆ Long life
◆ Low energy consumption
◆ Light weight
◆ Low noise
