PEEK Nuts Sliders Bushes and Wear Parts

PEEK resin is a high performance special thermoplastic with excellent high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength. It has been widely used in the field of textile machinery for exactly that combination, and it is the material behind most of the wear part upgrades on this site.

The Range

Every PEEK Nuts Sliders and Bushes We Make

Self-lubricating PEEK wear parts for lead rods, chains and guide rails, plus carbon graphite rail strip.

The Problem

Why This Category Exists

Every wear interface inside a stenter chamber is a maintenance liability: it needs grease, the grease reaches the cloth, and the interface still wears. Replacing metal with self-lubricating PEEK removes the grease point and extends the interval at the same time.

Who This Is For

  • Maintenance teams reducing the number of lubrication points inside the chamber
  • Engineers extending intervals between chain services
  • Mills where grease from the chain or rail has been reaching the fabric

Problems It Solves

  • Copper mesh chain linings wearing out and letting the chain run loose
  • Molybdenum disulfide being applied to lead rod nuts inside a hot chamber
  • Grease from the guide rail transferring onto the fabric
  • Metal wear parts galling and becoming noisy
Core Advantages

What You Get From This Range

  • PEEK nuts for the lead rod widening gear in 44x7, 44x6 and 45x6, brown and black grades
  • PEEK nuts machined for IL SUNG lead rod threads as well as Monforts
  • PEEK bushes that replace the original copper mesh lining between pin and chain
  • PEEK sliders for Artos chains, available as a retrofit to an existing chain
  • PEEK buffer blocks for impact positions in the chain path
  • Carbon graphite strip as a dry running surface inside the guide rail
FAQ

Questions About PEEK Nuts Sliders and Bushes

What is PEEK?

Polyether ether ketone resin, a high performance special thermoplastic with excellent high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength. It is widely used in textile machinery.

What is a PEEK nut, exactly?

It is the adjustable nut of the setting machine lead rod, the part that helps the guide rail to be widened. It is self-lubricating, does not require molybdenum disulfide, is not easy to break, and lasts longer.

What does a PEEK bush replace?

The original copper mesh lining between the pin and the chain. Because PEEK is self-lubricating it is more wear resistant and has a longer service life.

Can I retrofit PEEK to an existing chain?

Yes. Bushes and sliders are sold separately for exactly that. Convert a whole section at a time so heights stay uniform.

Do PEEK parts still need greasing?

The PEEK parts themselves are self-lubricating. The chain as a whole still needs its annual clean and a high temperature grease on the bearing side.

Does the guide rail need to be in good condition for PEEK sliders?

Yes. PEEK does not tolerate a scored rail as well as copper does, so inspect and dress the rail before converting.
