Grade Alternatives:
There are also filled grade alternatives that further enhance the performance of PEEK Rod. Carbon fibre filled grade which has 30% carbon fibre content. Glass filled grade which has 30% glass fibre content and also bearing grade PEEK which has 10% carbon, 10% graphite and 10% PTFE to further improve bearing performance.
The bearing grade PEEK Rod is black in colour and is one of the other popular types within the range. PEEK Bearing grade has the lowest co-efficient of friction of the range and best machineability. Glass filled grade has a much lower thermal expansion rate and is also much stiffer than standard grade. Carbon filled grade PEEK also has a lower expansion rate and an improved wear resistance but it also dissipates heat from the surface of bearings much faster than other grades.
