ARKPEEK PEEK balls are critical components designed to outperform metal, ceramic, or plastic alternatives in demanding environments. Crafted from advanced PEEK polymer composites—PEEK 1000 (virgin grade), CF30 (30% carbon fiber-reinforced), GF30 (30% glass fiber-reinforced), and MOD (lubricated for reduced friction)—these balls combine lightweight design with exceptional mechanical strength, ensuring reliable performance in high-stress applications.
Material Advantages
PEEK 1000: Ideal for high-purity environments like medical devices and semiconductor manufacturing, resistant to steam, chemicals, and sterilization.
CF30: Carbon fiber reinforcement enhances stiffness and load capacity for heavy-duty valves and industrial bearings.
GF30: Glass fiber reinforcement ensures dimensional stability in high-temperature or thermal cycling conditions.
MOD: Self-lubricating properties minimize wear in dynamic applications like ball valves and rotating assemblies.
Key Applications
Industrial Valves: Sealing balls for chemical processing, oil & gas, and water treatment systems resistant to acids, bases, and hydrocarbons.
Bearings: Low-friction balls for aerospace actuators, automotive transmissions, and robotics.
Medical Devices: Biocompatible, sterilizable balls for drug delivery systems, surgical instruments, and implantable devices.
Aerospace: Lightweight, flame-retardant balls for fuel systems, hydraulic controls, and landing gear.
Technical Benefits
Wear Resistance: 5x longer lifespan than stainless steel or ceramic balls in abrasive environments.
Low Friction: MOD-grade reduces friction by 30–40%, lowering energy consumption and heat generation.
Chemical Resistance: Impervious to harsh solvents, fuels, and acids (e.g., H₂SO₄, NaOH).
Temperature Stability: Perform reliably from -70°C to +260°C (-94°F to +500°F).
Precision Machining: Tight tolerances (±0.005mm) for consistent roundness and surface finish.
Certifications & Compliance
Medical: FDA 21 CFR 177.2415, ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), USP Class VI.
Industrial: REACH, RoHS, and ISO 9001:2015-certified production.
Aerospace: Compliant with FAR 25.853 flammability standards.
