PEEK Roller Ball Bearing conform to the following Standards/Norms:

PEEK Roller Ball Bearings, available in sizes ranging from type 6000 to 6205, are precision-engineered components featuring a PEEK inner and outer ring with zirconia ball bearings. PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. The inclusion of zirconia ball bearings enhances the bearing's durability and wear resistance, making these bearings ideal for high-performance applications. PEEK's lightweight nature and low friction coefficient further contribute to the efficiency and longevity of these roller ball bearings, making them suitable for use in various demanding environments.

Type – 6000, 6001, 6002, 6003, 6004, 6005, 6200, 6201, 6202, 6203, 6204, 6205

Advantages of Using PEEK Roller Ball Bearings:

High Mechanical Strength: PEEK provides excellent tensile and compressive strength, ensuring the bearings can withstand significant loads.

Chemical Resistance: The material's resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, ensures the bearings' durability in corrosive environments.

Thermal Stability: PEEK maintains its mechanical properties at high temperatures, making these bearings suitable for use in applications with significant thermal fluctuations.

Wear Resistance: The combination of PEEK and zirconia ball bearings offers superior wear resistance, extending the bearing's service life.

Low Friction: PEEK's low friction coefficient reduces energy loss and heat generation, improving the efficiency of the bearings.

Lightweight: The bearings' lightweight construction reduces the overall weight of assemblies, benefiting applications where weight is a critical factor.

Non-Magnetic: The non-magnetic nature of PEEK and zirconia makes these bearings ideal for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided.
