This material type, reinforced with 30% glass fibre, has a higher rigidity and creep resistance than non-reinforced PEEK and has much better dimensional stability. It is well-suited for use in parts which are exposed to high and static loads at high temperatures. Because the glass fibres tend to result in abrasion of the mating surface, the suitability of this material for slide bearings must be carefully checked for each specific application.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
