HIPERAX thrust bearings made using VICTREX~R PEEK(TM) polymer provide excellent tribological properties and wear resistance in harsh pumping environments

摘要

Thrust bearings show minimal wear after three years of demanding operation despite the presence of system debris Thrust bearings designed and developed by US-based Waukesha Bearings Corporation implementing VICTREX PEEK polymer have proven successful after 3 years of continuous use. HIPERAX bearings have been installed in wet wound heater lift pumps by Weir Engineering Services Ltd The bearings manufactured from VICTREX PEEK 450FC30 are insert moulded onto a substrate by High-Performance Mouldings of Sandiacre Nottingham.
