A bearing retainer is a device used to secure or retain the bearings or rolling elements of a machine tool.  The main function of a bearing retainer is to improve the efficiency of rotating machinery by ensuring that the bearings are properly positioned and secured in place. A common bearing retainer usually uses metal, but…

We have to choose our material very carefully when deciding to use PEEK or Ultem to produce our radome. These two materials are the best for the job. If we don’t choose them, we will fail or fall back because these materials are a lot stronger than the other ones that can be made for…

If you are a regular reader of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) articles, you have surely heard about PEEK plastic components used in HPLC instruments. Did you know that peek plastics are the preferred material for HPLC instrument manufacture? The main reasons for this preference to use PEEK as a source of materials for manufacturing HPLC…

A shaft sleeve is a bearing housing for engine spindles. It is fitted over the piston pins and is used to hold the engine bearings in place. These sleeves make sure that the connecting rod bearings get proper lubrication along with the rotation of the big end. Well, this application is kinda similar to the…

Polyether-ether-ketone or PEEK is one of the high-performance polymer materials with high mechanical strength, good impact strength, excellent chemical resistance, and outstanding dimensional stability. For today’s application, all these fantastic properties mentioned before are essential. The equipment’s working conditions are always under temperature and high pressure in the coal mining industry. Usually, the pressure is…

For connectors, especially for the high-frequency and radio-frequency connectors, besides the excellent design and manufacturing technique, another critical factor in determining whether the products are good is the plastic because the function of plastic in the connectors applications is insulation.  Usually, the connectors are tiny, and the typical diameter ranges from 3mm to 10mm. It…

Why commonly use PEEK plastic? The PEEK coil frame is a structural component whose primary function is to provide structural support for the wire. Considering the insulation, the coil former usually uses plastic instead of metal. At the same time, the polymer should have outstanding mechanical strength, good dimensional stability, and a high service temperature….

The petroleum logging instruments need to face very harsh working conditions that are usually high temperatures and high pressure. According to our practical experience, the usual working environment is 140℃~175℃ with 140mpa~160mpa. The polymers used in these instruments are required high mechanical strength, excellent electrical insulation properties, and good dimensional stability. So PEEK plastic is…

What is back up ring Back up ring plays a very important role in the seals. You can tell its function from the name: it back up the O-ring. Usually, the backup rings are just structural support that keeps the O-ring away from the extrusion gap in hardware. Actually what seals is the O-ring and…
