PEEK Bush for Artos Stenter Chain
A PEEK bushing is a bearing made from polyether ether ketone, a high-performance plastic chosen for its strength, chemical resistance and ability to work at high temperature. In an Artos stenter chain the bush sits between the pin and the link, and fitting PEEK improves the service life of the whole chain. Just as important, the bush can be changed easily, so the chain body does not have to be scrapped when the bearing surface wears.
Key Benefits
- Improves the service life of the chain by protecting the pin
- Changed easily, so the chain body lasts through several bush sets
- Holds up to chamber temperature and finishing chemistry
- Sold on its own, not only as part of a complete chain
Application Scenarios
- Artos chain overhauls where the link plates are still sound
- Mills rebuilding chain sections in their own workshop
- Scheduled bush changes at the annual service
Who It Is For
- Dyeing and finishing mills running Artos stenters
- Maintenance teams planning a chain overhaul during a shutdown
- Textile machinery service companies rebuilding rails on customer sites
Problems It Solves
- Bushes that seize on the pin make the chain snatch on the guide and wear the rail.
- Scrapping a sound chain because the bearing surfaces have worn.
- Fibre dust and finishing chemicals grinding into an unprotected bush cut chain life short.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Metal bushes | PEEK does not seize against the pin the way a metal-on-metal bush can, and it survives chamber heat and finishing chemistry. |
| Replacing the whole chain | If the pitch has not stretched and the link plates are sound, a bush change restores the chain at a fraction of the cost. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Stop the machine and let the assembly cool before stripping it
Step 2
Note how the old part sits before removing it
Step 3
Clean the seat completely before fitting the new part
Step 4
Turn the rail by hand for one full pass and check free movement
Step 5
Replace in complete sets so grip and wear stay even across the machine

PEEK Bush for Artos Stenter Chain Questions
What is PEEK?
Polyether ether ketone, a high-performance plastic known for strength, chemical resistance and performance at high temperature. That combination is why it suits a stenter chain.
Does changing the bush fix a stretched chain?
No. A bush change restores the bearing surface. If the pitch has stretched, the chain itself needs replacing.
How easy is the bush to change?
That is the point of the design. The bush comes out and goes back without dismantling the chain body.
How many should I order?
One per pin across the rail. Send us the rail length and chain pitch and we will calculate it.
