Compared to PEEK bushings, the durable Ideal Plastic PEEK Flanged Bushings comes with an extra radial flange. Basically, it’s a cylinder with a circular flange that sticks out outward. The flange has a larger diameter than the bushing’s outer diameter, so if you look at the cross-section, it kind of looks like a "T". People use this design mainly when the shaft experiences axial force, needs positioning, handles heavy loads, is installed near the end face, or requires protection from dust and chips. Order now!
1. Reduces wear
2. Prevents shaft displacement
3. Blocks dust
4. Withstands axial force
The quality PEEK Flanged Bushings from Ideal Plastic supplier has low friction and never needs lubrication. It can handle the shaft’s rotating or sliding motion, reduce wear, lower noise, and stop seizing from happening. The flange end face presses against the machine tool, which limits shaft movement so you don’t need retaining rings, circlips, or positioning steps. The flange face also takes axial pressure and end face friction, which makes it especially good for mechanisms with axial forces. Once you press-fit it, the flange acts as a stop, keeping the bushing from getting squeezed out or loosened by axial force. At the same time, the flange covers up the mating gap, keeping dust, metal chips, and liquids from getting into the friction pair. That greatly reduces abrasive wear.
1.Self-lubricating properties: PEEK is naturally slippery and has a low coefficient of friction. So when you use it in things like mechanical transmission parts or bearings—where cutting down on friction and wear is a big deal—it saves energy and helps equipment last longer.
2.Corrosion resistance: PEEK's molecular structure is pretty unique. Both ends have ketone and ether groups that link the aryl groups together, creating a symmetrical and stable setup. This makes the high-orbit electrons in the macromolecule less reactive. At room temperature, PEEK Flanged Bushings made from PEEK can handle 98% concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and other strong acids or highly polar chemicals. Basically, its corrosion resistance is right up there with nickel steel.
3.High hardness: Pure PEEK has a Rockwell hardness of about 80 to 90. If you add 30% carbon fiber, the HRM hardness goes up to 90 to 110, so it can take a decent amount of load and pressure without deforming easily.
4.Fatigue Resistance: PEEK Flanged Bushing has excellent fatigue resistance. It stands up well to repeated loading, vibration, and impact without developing fatigue cracks or failing. That's why you see PEEK used a lot in aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial fields.
5.Creep Resistance: PEEK also creeps very slowly. Creep is just the slow deformation of a material under long-term stress, and PEEK barely deforms even at high temperatures. At 200°C and under high pressure, its creep is way lower than polyamide's.
6.Impact Resistance: At room temperature, PEEK's impact resistance is a bit lower than engineering plastics like ABS. But the difference really shows at higher temperatures. For example, above 150°C, ABS loses its impact resistance fast, while PEEK still holds up well.
7.High Long-Term Operating Temperature: The product can run continuously in environments up to 260°C, and it can handle short bursts over 300°C without breaking down easily. Under a load of 1.82 MPa, its heat distortion temperature is around 160°C, and it still keeps a decent level of mechanical strength at 200°C. If you go with carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, its linear thermal expansion coefficient is close to that of metals—about 12 to 16 × 10⁻⁶/°C. It doesn't shrink much at high temperatures, so it works really well alongside metal parts.
1.Pure PEEK is pretty tough, resists chemicals well, and costs a moderate amount, but its self-lubrication is just okay. Under heavy loads or high speeds, it tends to wear more.
2.Graphite-modified PEEK has great self-lubrication, a low friction coefficient, handles dry friction well, and resists high temperatures. It’s usually the first choice for general-purpose wear-resistant parts.
3.Carbon fiber reinforced PEEK has high strength, high stiffness, good creep resistance, and handles high pressure well. But it can cause a bit of wear on soft shafts, so it’s better suited for heavy loads.
4.Graphite + PTFE composite modified PEEK combines low friction, strong self-lubrication, and wear resistance. It’s the go-to when you need cleanliness, no oil, and a long service life.
5.Glass fiber reinforced PEEK is generally not used because it can damage the mating surface during friction.

1.Automation and Conveying Equipment: PEEK is a great fit for things like assembly line conveyors, or shaft supports for belt or chain rollers, especially where you have radial loads and axial pushing or pulling impacts to deal with.
2.Pump, Valve, and Hydraulic Industry: PEEK Flanged Bushings works well as rotating bushings in chemical pumps, metering pumps, and diaphragm pumps, as well as valve core guide sleeves in water treatment valves and fluid control valves. The big pluses here are resistance to acids and alkalis, resistance to solvents, plus you can use it as flange deflectors and to keep impurities in the medium isolated.
3.Pharmaceutical and Medical Equipment: Food-grade PEEK can be custom-made. It doesn't leach anything out, it resists cleaning fluids, and it's self-lubricating so you don't get oil stains. It's a great choice for applications that need frequent cleaning and high-temperature sterilization—like steam or pasteurization—in pharmaceutical production lines, sterile transport equipment, and medical testing instruments.
4.Precision Machinery and Gear Transmissions: PEEK Flanged Bushing is ideal for supporting driven shafts in small gearboxes and reduction mechanisms, as well as high-speed rotating shafts in textile machinery and printing equipment. It gives you high dimensional stability, uses flanges to keep coaxiality in check, and offers high-speed, low-noise, and wear-resistant operation.
5.Electronics and Electrical Appliances Industry: PEEK has excellent electrical properties and is a solid electrical insulator. Even in harsh environments with high temperature, high pressure, and high humidity, its electrical insulation stays excellent. That's why the electronics and electrical appliances sector has gradually become PEEK's second biggest application market.
6.Oil and Gas, Petrochemical Industry: The product resists crude oil, acids and alkalis, chemical solvents, and hydrogen sulfide corrosion. It holds its dimensional stability under high temperature and pressure, its flanges can handle axial thrust, and it's oil-free and self-lubricating. You can use it in oilfield downhole tools, shafts and guide bushings in oil production equipment, as well as in drilling auxiliary mechanisms, valve actuators, throttle valves, and control valves for internal guidance and thrust.
