Buy PE1000 rod natural

PE1000, also referred to as PE-UHMW, is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene with particularly high wear resistance, very good sliding properties and high impact strength.

Natural-coloured PE1000 rods are particularly suitable for technical components that are permanently exposed to sliding, impact or abrasive stress.

Typical advantages:

• high abrasion resistance
• very good sliding properties
• high impact strength
• good chemical resistance
• low water absorption
• good machinability
• low friction
• suitable for wear-stressed components
• cut to size possible

PE1000 rod 1000 mm

Martan offers the natural-coloured PE1000 rods with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.

In the competitive environment too, the combination of PE1000 natural and 1,000 mm length is among the typical rod offerings.

The round material is suitable as a starting material for:

• rollers
• bushes
• guides
• plain bearings
• spacers
• rings
• wear parts
• conveyor technology components
• technical turned parts

Depending on the component, the starting length can subsequently be cut to size and further processed as required.

Select PE1000 rods by diameter

The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PE1000 round material.

Martan stocks the natural-coloured version in various diameters; the specific variant is selected directly via the product selection.

Competitors also structure PE-UHMW rods very strongly by diameter and length.

When selecting, you should take into account:

• desired finished diameter
• machining allowance
• component geometry
• wall thickness
• mechanical load
• planned machining
• required tolerances

For turned parts, the starting diameter should provide sufficient material for subsequent finishing.

PE1000 rod cut to size

Do you not need a full rod length?

Then a PE1000 rod cut to size may be worthwhile.

For PE1000 rods, Martan expressly states the option of individual cut pieces.

The round material can, for example, be processed by:

• sawing
• turning
• milling
• drilling
• CNC machining

A suitably chosen cut piece can reduce material consumption and simplify further processing.

Properties of PE1000 / PE-UHMW

PE1000 is characterised in particular by its sliding and wear behaviour.

Typical properties are:

• high wear resistance
• high abrasion resistance
• very good sliding properties
• high impact strength
• good chemical resistance
• low water absorption
• low coefficient of friction
• good machinability

This combination makes PE1000 round material particularly interesting for moving and wear-stressed components.

Further information can be found in our polyethylene material profile.

What are PE1000 rods used for?

Natural-coloured PE1000 rods are particularly frequently used for components where good sliding properties and high wear resistance are required.

Typical areas of application are:

• mechanical engineering
• plant engineering
• conveyor technology
• food technology
• packaging technology
• transport technology

Typical components are:

• plain bearings
• rollers
• bushes
• guides
• sliding elements
• spacers
• deflection rollers
• wear parts
• conveyor technology components
• technical turned parts

Martan names mechanical engineering, conveyor technology and the food industry in particular as typical fields of application for natural-coloured PE1000 rods.

PE1000 rod for conveyor technology

PE1000 is particularly interesting for conveyor and sliding components.

The material combines high abrasion resistance with low friction and can therefore be used, for example, for:

• guide rollers
• sliding rollers
• bearing bushes
• spacers
• guides
• wear-stressed turned parts

Especially with continuous sliding movements, PE1000 can offer advantages over stiffer engineering plastics.

Turning PE1000 rod

PE1000 can be machined with suitable tools.

When turning, the round material can be used to produce, for example:

• bushes
• rollers
• rings
• sleeves
• spacers
• guide components

During machining, the material's comparatively low heat transport should be taken into account. Suitable tool geometry, cutting parameters and chip removal support clean machining. For PE1000, Martan also points out that machining must be adapted due to the low thermal conductivity.

Milling and drilling PE1000 rod

In addition to turning, PE1000 can also be milled and drilled.

This allows, for example:

• cross holes
• grooves
• surfaces
• recesses
• mounting holes

to be introduced into the component.

For more complex geometries, CNC machining may be worthwhile.

PE1000 natural or black?

Martan stocks PE1000 rods in both natural and black.

PE1000 natural is the classic light-coloured material version.

PE1000 black offers a dark technical appearance and may be worthwhile if a black component colour is desired.

Here you will find our PE1000 / PE-UHMW rods black.

PE1000 natural or green?

In addition to natural and black, Martan also stocks PE1000 rods in green.

The green version can be used, for example, if clear visual identification of different components or functional areas is desired.

Here you will find our PE1000 / PE-UHMW rods green.

PE1000 rod or sheet?

The suitable semi-finished product form depends on the component geometry.

PE1000 rods are particularly suitable for:

• rollers
• bushes
• rings
• sleeves
• turned parts
• rotationally symmetrical components

PE1000 sheets are particularly suitable for:

• slide rails
• guide plates
• linings
• wear plates
• flat milled parts

You can find suitable flat material under PE1000 / PE-UHMW sheets.

PE1000 or PE300 rod?

PE1000 and PE300 both belong to the polyethylene family, but have different main areas of application.

PE1000 is particularly suitable for:

• high wear stress
• high abrasion load
• pronounced sliding movements
• conveyor technology
• heavily stressed guides

PE300 / PE-HD is suitable as an economical standard engineering plastic for many components subject to less severe wear.

You can find suitable material under PE300 / PE-HD rods natural.

PE1000 or POM-C rod?

PE1000 and POM-C are both used for technical functional parts, but differ significantly.

PE1000 offers advantages in:

• abrasion
• wear
• sliding properties
• impact stress

POM-C offers advantages in:

• rigidity
• dimensional stability
• precise machining
• dimensionally stable precision components

For precise turned parts with high requirements for dimensional stability, POM-C round material may therefore be the more suitable choice.
