PEEK Bush For Artos Stenter Chains
PEEK bearing bush for Artos chains, easily changed and good for chain life.
Product Overview
A PEEK bushing is a bearing made from a high performance plastic known for its strength, chemical resistance and ability to perform in high temperature environments. Inside a stenter chain it sits between the pin and the chain and takes the articulating load every time the chain turns.
Using a PEEK bush improves the working life of the chain, and the bush itself can be changed easily. That combination is what makes chain servicing the sensible alternative to chain replacement on Artos frames.
Key Benefits
- Improves the working life of the Artos chain
- Changed easily, so a chain can be serviced rather than replaced
- Strength, chemical resistance and high temperature performance from the PEEK material
- Supplied with the Artos chains and sliders that run alongside it
Who It Is For
- Artos users servicing chains rather than replacing them
- Maintenance stores holding Artos chain wear parts
- Engineers upgrading chain specification component by component
Problems It Solves
- Chain articulation stiffening as the bush wears
- Full chain replacement driven by one worn component
- Artos chain parts being unavailable individually
Application Scenarios
- Artos chains due for servicing where connectors and pins are still sound
- Frames where chain articulation has become stiff
- Extending the interval before a full Artos chain replacement
Technical Features
- PEEK bearing bush between pin and chain
- High strength, chemical resistance and high temperature performance
- Designed to be changed easily during a service
- Black finish, approximate assembly weight 0.65 kg

Certifications. We make no certification claim for this part. The original company statement is that products comply with international quality standards; no certificate is named and none is asserted here. Ask us directly if your procurement process requires documentation.
Comparison With Other Options
Against a metal bush, PEEK gives strength with chemical and temperature resistance and does not need the same lubrication. Against replacing the chain, servicing with new bushes is far cheaper while chain pitch is still within tolerance.
Use Guide
Gauge chain pitch before ordering bushes, so you know servicing will fix it
Inspect pins while the bushes are out
Replace along a whole section rather than individually
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year
Use a high temperature grease at the same service
FAQ
Questions About PEEK Bush For Artos Stenter Chains
What is a PEEK bushing?
A bearing made from a high performance plastic known for strength, chemical resistance and the ability to perform in high temperature environments.
Why fit one to an Artos chain?
Using a PEEK bush improves the working life of the chain, and the bush can be changed easily when it eventually wears.
Can I fit PEEK bushes to an existing chain?
Yes, that is the usual case. Send us the pin and chain dimensions or a sample bush.
Do you supply PEEK sliders for Artos chains too?
Yes, along with copper sliders, complete chains, pin plates and clips.
When is servicing no longer worthwhile?
When chain pitch has elongated to the point that the pin bed cannot be held in register. Gauge the pitch first.
Lead time?
Within 7 days for standard sizes.

Guides That Cover This Part
What Is a Stenter Machine and How Does It Work
The stenter heat-sets and dries fabric by stretching it to width and holding it there under controlled heat.
Key Parts of a Stenter Machine
Entry section, clip or pin chains, rails, heating chambers, exhaust, blowers, temperature control, width adjustment and weft straightener.
Pin Stenter or Clip Stenter Which To Use
Clips leave no pin marks and suit thicker fabrics; pins hold more tension and run faster, to 100 m per minute.
Send A Sample And We Will Match The Profile
Seat profiles and geometry changed across frame generations, so the part itself is more reliable than a model number. We identify it and quote the matching specification.
