PEEK is a special engineering plastic with excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, self-lubrication, easy processing and high mechanical strength. It can be manufactured and processed into various mechanical parts, such as PEEK sleeves, PEEK bearings, PEEK bushings, PEEK bearing cages, etc.; aircraft engine parts, automatic washing machine parts, medical device parts, etc.
CFDPLAS Bearings utilizes a proprietary PEEK-based material to enhance fluid film bearing capacity and reliability. PEEK bearings can provide exceptional performance in high ambient temperatures and with low-viscosity lubricants such as water. It is also an electrical insulator and resistant to chemical attack.
With these properties, PEEK components can serve as direct replacements for babbitt components or be incorporated into new designs to extend operating limits.
PEEK Bearing Advantages:
The application of engineered polymer on tilt pad thrust and journal bearings provides a number of application benefits.
Operation with thinner hydrodynamic films for:
High load capacity : up to 10 MPa (1500 psi)
Reduced power loss: up to 30% savings
Operation with low-viscosity lubricants
Higher temperature capabilities : up to 250°C (482°F)
Operation with challenging lubricants and process fluids
Higher start-up load capability without hydrostatic lift
Corrosion resistance
Electrical insulation to prevent damaging currents from passing through the bearing and housing to ground
Embedability similar to that of babbitt
PEEK bearings applications:
Aerospace Components: PEEK ball bearings are used in aircraft control surfaces and landing gear systems for their lightweight and high-performance properties.
Automotive Suspension: PEEK bearings contribute to the durability and low-friction operation of automotive suspension systems.
Oil and Gas Equipment: PEEK bearings are suitable for critical components in oil drilling, such as mud pumps.
Renewable Energy: PEEK ball bearings find application in wind turbines and solar tracking systems, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
High-Temperature Machinery: PEEK bearings are used in machinery exposed to extreme temperatures, such as ovens and industrial furnaces.

Why PEEK for Bearings?
PEEK is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional combination of:
High thermal resistance
Excellent chemical stability
Strong mechanical properties
Good wear and friction performance
Compared with general engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), acetal (POM), or PTFE, PEEK offers a broader operating window in demanding environments.
