    Wear- and Chemical-Resistant PEEK Rods

    Even when exposed to chemicals, these rods remain wear resistant. Made of PEEK, they stand up to repetitive processes as well as abrasion. They’re sometimes used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in high-stress applications.

    Ultra-Low-Friction PEEK Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction PEEK Rods.
    Our slickest, most machinable PEEK rods. These rods are often referred to as bearing grade PEEK. They’re filled with carbon fiber, graphite, and PTFE, so their composition enables tighter tolerances and cleaner finishes than standard PEEK. Use these rods to create bushings, bearings, and seals where service life is critical, such as in aerospace, oil and gas, and semiconductor equipment.

    Plastic Dowel Pins

    Assemble circuit boards and other electronic parts with dowel pins that insulate against stray current. These pins prevent short circuits and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can harm performance and cause malfunctions. They’re also lighter than metal pins if you need to reduce weight in prototypes and moving assemblies. Dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. Since they can be hard to remove, they are best for fixtures that don't need to be adjusted or taken apart frequently.

    High-Strength PEEK—The closest alternative to metal pins, these offer the best strength to stand up to stress and vibration. In addition, they won't degrade or lose their shape when exposed to high heat. They aren't very impact resistant, however, and may crack if inserted too forcefully.

    Metal-Detectable PEEK Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Metal-Detectable PEEK Rods.
    Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue in color, you can find and remove them quickly. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    These PEEK rods resist wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They also stand up to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Since they’re lightweight, they’re often used as a substitute for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight matters.

    Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start. Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these lead screws and nuts provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size and number of thread starts.

    Wear-Compensating Internal O-Ring—Flange nuts with a wear-compensating internal O-ring resist backlash to keep the nuts in place and maintain a tight fit even when their threads begin to wear. They’re often used in 3D printing and robotic applications.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

    Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size, thread type, thread size, thread pitch, and number of thread starts.
