Applications of Plastic Turned Parts
Plastic turned parts are used in many industries. Here are some common application areas:
Mechanical Engineering: Bearings, guides, and rollers made from POM or nylon are popular due to their high wear resistance and low friction.
Medical Technology: Parts made from PEEK and PPS are often used because of their excellent chemical resistance and biocompatibility.
Electrical Engineering: Housings and covers made from ABS and PC offer excellent electrical insulation properties.
Automotive Industry: Components such as seals and covers made from PTFE and UHMWPE are valued for their high resistance to chemicals and temperatures.
Food Industry: Turned parts made from PP and PVC are frequently used in equipment and machines that come into direct contact with food.
Advantages of Plastic
Plastics offer numerous advantages over traditional materials like metal:
Lightweight: Plastic parts are significantly lighter than metal parts, reducing the overall weight of machines and devices.
Corrosion Resistance: Many plastics are inherently corrosion-resistant, extending their lifespan in aggressive environments.
Insulating Properties: Plastics are excellent electrical and thermal insulators.
Cost Efficiency: Often, plastic materials are more cost-effective and easier to machine than metals.
Disadvantages of Plastic
Despite their many advantages, there are some limitations to consider when choosing plastic materials:
Lower Strength: Compared to metal, plastics often have lower strength and can fail more quickly under high loads.
Temperature Resistance: Many plastics are not as temperature-resistant as metals and can lose their shape or strength at high temperatures.
Aging: Some plastics can age more quickly and become brittle due to UV radiation or chemical exposure.
