Black PEEK rod 1000 mm

Martan offers black PEEK rods, among other things, in a length of approx. 1,000 mm.

This format is suitable as a starting material for individual technical components or smaller series.

Typical components are:

• bushes
• rollers
• rings
• guides
• plain bearings
• spacers
• sealing bodies
• insulating parts
• pump components
• valve components
• precision turned parts

Depending on the application, other standard lengths or individual cut pieces may also be relevant.

Selecting PEEK rod by diameter

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

Martan stocks black PEEK rods in various diameters. You select the specific variant that can be ordered directly via the product page.

When selecting, you should take into account:

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

For precise turned parts, sufficient material should be allowed for the final machining.

PEEK rod cut to size

You do not need a full standard length?

Then a PEEK rod cut to size may be worthwhile.

The round material can be prepared to the required starting length and then further processed.

Typical machining processes are:

• sawing
• turning
• milling
• drilling
• threading
• CNC machining

A suitable cut piece reduces unnecessary material use and simplifies further production.

Properties of black PEEK rods

PEEK stands for polyetheretherketone and belongs to the group of high-performance plastics.

Typical properties are:

• high thermal load capacity
• high strength
• high rigidity
• excellent dimensional stability
• very good chemical resistance
• high abrasion resistance
• good sliding properties
• low water absorption
• good electrical insulation
• very good machinability by cutting

This combination of properties makes PEEK particularly interesting for technically demanding applications.

PEEK rod for high temperatures

A key advantage of PEEK is its high temperature resistance.

For black PEEK, Martan states a continuous service temperature of up to about 250 °C.

This makes PEEK suitable for applications in which many classic engineering plastics are no longer sufficiently temperature-resistant.

The specific suitability should always be checked on the basis of the following factors:

• service temperature
• duration of temperature exposure
• mechanical load
• component geometry
• media used
• ambient conditions

Chemical-resistant PEEK rod

PEEK has a very high resistance to numerous chemical media.

As a result, the material is suitable, among other things, for:

• pump components
• valve components
• sealing bodies
• guides
• bearing parts
• technical insulating components

For specific chemicals, resistance should always be checked taking into account the medium, concentration and temperature.

Why black PEEK rods?

The black version can offer additional functional and visual advantages over natural-coloured PEEK.

Black PEEK is particularly suitable when:

• a black component colour is required
• components are to be visually distinguished
• low light reflection is desired
• components are used in visible assemblies
• increased UV stability is relevant

This makes black PEEK suitable both for technical functional parts and for visible precision components.

What are black PEEK rods used for?

Black PEEK rods are used in numerous demanding technical fields.

Typical areas of application are:

• mechanical engineering
• plant engineering
• automotive industry
• electrical engineering
• semiconductor technology
• sensor technology
• optics
• pump technology
• valve technology
• aerospace engineering

Typical components are:

• bearing bushes
• plain bearings
• rollers
• guides
• connecting elements
• sealing bodies
• insulating parts
• pump components
• valve components
• precision turned parts

Turning PEEK rod

Despite its high technical performance, PEEK is easy to machine by cutting.

Turning is particularly suitable for rotationally symmetrical components such as:

• bushes
• rings
• rollers
• sleeves
• bolts
• bearing parts
• sealing bodies

For precise results, tool geometry, cutting speed, feed rate, clamping conditions and heat input should be taken into account in particular.

Milling and drilling PEEK rod

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

This allows, for example:

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

to be introduced into the component.

For complex geometries, CNC machining may be worthwhile.

Black or natural PEEK?

Martan stocks PEEK rods in black and natural.

Black PEEK is particularly suitable for:

• dark component colour
• visual differentiation
• reduced light reflection
• applications exposed to UV

Natural PEEK is the classic light-coloured material version.

Here you will find our natural PEEK rods.

PEEK rod or PEEK sheet?

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

PEEK rods are particularly suitable for:

• turned parts
• bushes
• rollers
• rings
• sleeves
• bolts

PEEK sheets, by contrast, are particularly suitable for:

• flat components
• mounts
• insulating sheets
• milled components
• technical construction parts

Here you will find our PEEK sheets.

Black PEEK as rod or sheet?

If you specifically need PEEK in black, different semi-finished product forms are available.

For rotationally symmetrical components, round material is usually the more economical starting form.

For flat or predominantly milled components, black PEEK sheets are suitable.

You can find suitable flat material under black PEEK sheets.

PEEK or POM-C rod?

PEEK and POM-C are both suitable for precise technical components, but differ significantly in their performance profile.

PEEK is particularly suitable for:

• high temperatures
• high chemical exposure
• high mechanical stress
• demanding ambient conditions

POM-C is particularly suitable for:

• very good machinability
• high dimensional accuracy
• good rigidity
• classic mechanical engineering applications

If the high thermal and chemical properties of PEEK are not required, POM-C can be a more economical solution.

You can find suitable variants under POM-C rods.

PEEK or PTFE rod?

PEEK and PTFE are both suitable for demanding applications, but differ significantly in their mechanical properties.

PEEK offers:

• high rigidity
• high mechanical strength
• good dimensional stability
• very good machinability

PTFE offers:

• particularly low friction
• very good sliding properties
• very high chemical resistance
• low adhesion tendency

You can find suitable material under PTFE rods.
