PEEK Bush for Monforts Stenter Chain
A PEEK bush is the wear-resistant lining between the pin and the chain. It replaces the original copper mesh lining. PEEK, polyether ether ketone, is a high-performance thermoplastic. It combines high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength, which is why it has spread so widely through textile machinery. Because PEEK is self-lubricating, the bush is more wear resistant than the copper mesh it replaces and lasts longer in service.
Key Benefits
- Replaces the original copper mesh lining between pin and chain
- Self-lubricating, so it wears more slowly than copper mesh
- Longer service life means fewer chain strip-downs
- Available in black, white and yellow
Application Scenarios
- Monforts chain overhauls where the link plates are still sound
- Mills upgrading from copper mesh linings
- Scheduled bush changes at the annual service
Who It Is For
- Finishing mills running Monforts stenters
- Maintenance workshops rebuilding chain in house
- Service companies doing rail work on site
Problems It Solves
- Copper mesh linings wearing out and letting the pin work in the link.
- Chain strip-downs coming round too often because the lining life is short.
- Seizing between pin and link when the lining has gone.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Copper mesh linings | PEEK is self-lubricating, so it is more wear resistant and has a longer service life than the copper mesh it replaces. |
| 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 the orientation of the part before removing it
Step 3
Clean the seat completely before fitting the new part
Step 4
Fit by hand, without forcing, and check free movement
Step 5

PEEK Bush for Monforts Stenter Chain Questions
What does the bush actually do?
It is the wear-resistant lining between the pin and the chain, the bearing surface that takes the movement.
Why replace copper mesh with PEEK?
PEEK is self-lubricating, which makes it more wear resistant and gives it a longer service life than the copper mesh lining.
Can I retrofit PEEK bushes to an existing chain?
Often yes, if the pins and link plates are sound. Send us a sample link and we will confirm.
How many do I need?
One per pin across both rails. Send us the rail length and chain pitch and we will calculate it.
