The sliding behavior always depends on the overall sliding system, and on parameters like sliding partner, load, sliding speed, surface roughness, temperature and so on. The fillers carbon fiber and graphite make TECAPEEK PVX black a superior bearing grade with improved thermal conductivity. The 3D printer head or 3D printer extruder is a part in material extrusion additive manufacturing responsible for raw material melting or softening and forming. The better the thermal conductivity of the part, the faster the heat is dissipated and overheating can be reduced. In order to avoid thermal overload of a bearing, the resulting frictional heat should be dissipated as quickly as possible from the sliding surface of the bearing. Because of these excellent sliding characteristics, they are used in gears, bearings, sliding bearings, and many other applications. PEEK is used where conventional materials (POM, PA / Nylon etc.) would be beyond their limits. With this combination of criteria, this bearing grade material can be used in harsh environments of 100 to 300☌. Improved heat dissipation (reduced frictional heat).Still, many applications call for special PEEK bearing grades as TECAPEEK PVX black, containing a multiple filler system (graphite, carbon fiber and PTFE), to fulfill a combination of requirements: Unfilled PEEK natural is the most balanced material in high temperature environments, where non-lubricated sliding and non-contamination is required. PEEK bearing materials with excellent heat resistance and durability

ESD PEEK has excellent dimensional stability and can be machined easily to very tight tolerances. Due to its electrostatic dissipation properties, this material is commonly used in applications within the semi-conductor industry. PEEK SD is an electrically modified PEEK ESD plastic material with a defined surface resistance between 10 6-10 9 Ohm.

Polyetheretherketone is often viewed as one of the engineering thermoplastics that tends to command a high price, however experienced users have come to realise the added value that PEEK materials bring by offering the possibility of manufactured parts that are lighter, stronger and able to survive longer periods under harsh conditions. ESD PEEK is an electrically modified plastic material with a defined surface resistance between 106 -109. PEEK plastic is often used in hot water or steam environments because it maintains physical properties such as flexural and tensile strength at a high level despite the severe environment. Parts manufactured from high temperature plastic PEEK polymer can also operate at temperatures up to 260☌ (480☏) and have a melting point around 341☌ (646☏). PEEK is a unique semi crystalline, engineering thermoplastic that also offers excellent chemical compatibility. It is extruded in sheet, rod and tube that may use Victrex® PEEK 450G or Solvay KetaSpire® KT-820 polymer. PEEK material (chemically known as polyetheretherketone) is manufactured by Ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining.
