Stenter Parts for Polyester Heat Setting
High-temperature pin plates, PBT brush wheels and PEEK chain parts for synthetic heat setting ranges.
What This Industry Needs From a Stenter Rail
Heat setting stabilises synthetic fibre by holding the fabric at width under controlled heat until the fibres set in shape. It is the hottest continuous duty a textile stenter does, and it is where wear parts fail first. Pin roots soften, brush bristles go limp, chain bushes carbonise. The parts on this page are the ones chosen for that duty: copper plates that conduct heat away from the pin roots, PBT bristle made for high temperature, and PEEK bushes and sliders that hold their properties hot.
Pain Points We Hear
- Brush bristles going soft at temperature so the selvedge is never fully pinned
- Pins sitting low and pressing fabric onto the hot base plate, scorching the selvedge
- Chain bushes carbonising and seizing on the pin
- Grease breaking down in the chamber and leaving deposits
What Buyers Are Looking For
- Bristle grade specified for high temperature, not general purpose
- Copper plate bodies that pull heat out of the pin roots
- PEEK bushes and sliders with high temperature resistance
- Chain lubricant that is stable at chamber temperature

Specify for temperature
PBT bristle for hot brush positions, PEEK for bearing surfaces, copper plates for heat conduction.
Match the machine
Send the parts you are removing. We match on mounting, not on machine model.
Set the service interval
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year and re-grease with DuPont, Miller or Kluber grade.
Watch the edge
A selvedge releasing mid-chamber usually means brush or pin wear, not a tension setting problem.

Guides For This Industry
Choosing Brush Wheel Bristle for a Stenter Rail
PBT, pig hair, goat hair, horse hair or hard hair with glue. Six bristle types, what each one is for, and why wheel size has to be measured on body width as well as diameter.

PEEK or Copper in a Stenter Chain
PEEK is self-lubricating and runs light and quiet. Copper carries more load. Where each belongs in a chain, and why PEEK replaced the copper mesh bush.

Read GuidePolyester Heat Setting Questions
Which bristle grade for heat setting?
PBT, which is the high temperature grade. Pig hair and goat hair go soft in the hottest positions.
Why a copper plate body?
Copper spreads chamber heat rather than holding it in one spot, which keeps the pin roots cooler and the pins straighter.
Does PEEK survive heat setting temperatures?
Yes. PEEK is chosen for exactly that, high temperature resistance combined with wear resistance and self-lubrication.
What grease should I use?
High-temperature grease, DuPont, Miller or Kluber grade, at every annual service.
