PEEK Slider For Artos Stenter Chains
Self-lubricating slider that rides the Artos guide rail, replacing the copper slider.
Product Overview
The slider is the part of the chain that rides the guide rail, so it decides how the chain behaves on the track. This is the PEEK version for Artos chains, supplied as a wear part for retrofitting as well as fitted to new chains.
PEEK resin is a high performance thermoplastic with high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength, which is why it is widely used in the field of textile machinery.
Key Benefits
- Self-lubricating, so it reduces the grease demand on the rail
- Low noise compared with a metal slider on the track
- High temperature and corrosion resistance in the chamber
- Retrofits to an existing Artos chain without replacing the chain
Who It Is For
- Artos users converting from copper to PEEK sliders
- Engineers reducing grease consumption on the chain line
- Maintenance stores holding sliders as a consumable
Problems It Solves
- Copper sliders wearing out faster than the rest of the chain
- Grease from the guide rail transferring onto the fabric
- Chain noise on the track
Application Scenarios
- Artos frames with a guide rail in good condition
- Chains where copper sliders are wearing out before the rest of the chain
- Lines where grease from the rail is reaching the cloth
Technical Features
- PEEK resin: high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance, high strength
- Rides the Artos guide rail in place of a copper slider
- Supplied as a retrofit wear part
- Black and yellow, approximate weight 0.238 kg

Comparison With Other Options
PEEK against copper: PEEK is self-lubricating, quieter and longer lasting, but it wants a rail in good condition. Copper conducts heat away and copes better with surface defects on the rail. Inspect the rail before you decide, because rail condition matters more than price here.
Use Guide
Inspect and if necessary dress the guide rail before converting to PEEK
Convert a whole section so slider height is uniform
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year even with self-lubricating sliders
Keep the high temperature grease on the bearing side of the chain
Measure slider thickness at each service to track wear rate
FAQ
Questions About PEEK Slider For Artos Stenter Chains
Can I convert my copper sliders to PEEK?
Yes, the PEEK slider is supplied as a retrofit wear part. Convert a whole section at a time so slider height stays uniform.
Does the rail need to be in good condition?
Yes. PEEK does not tolerate a scored rail as well as copper does, so inspect and dress the rail before converting.
Will the chain be quieter?
PEEK is low noise compared with a metal slider, which is one of the reasons it is widely used in textile machinery.
Do I still grease the chain?
Yes, on the bearing side. The slider itself is self-lubricating.
Can you make sliders to our dimensions?
Yes, from a sample or a drawing.
Lead time?
Within 7 days for standard sizes.
