Plastic springs

What are plastic springs?

Plastic springs are components made from advanced thermoplastic materials such as Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyetherimide (PEI), and Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). These springs are designed to provide exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. They are ideal for demanding applications across various industries, including medical devices, aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, electronics, and food processing. Each material offers unique properties, ensuring that the springs perform reliably under specific environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, corrosive substances, and repeated sterilisation processes.

They offer unique advantages that metal screws cannot provide. They are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh chemical environments where metal screws would degrade. Their lightweight nature reduces the overall weight of assemblies, which is crucial in industries like aerospace and automotive where weight savings translate to better performance and fuel efficiency. Plastic screws also provide excellent electrical insulation, preventing electrical shorts in electronic devices. Additionally, they have high strength-to-weight ratios, are non-magnetic, and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. These properties make plastic screws essential for applications requiring durability, reliability, and specialized performance characteristics that metal screws cannot deliver.
