Why Choose Vespel Machined Parts for Your Projects
Vespel is a high-performance polyimide plastic that outperforms most other engineering materials under harsh conditions. This material is known for its performance in extreme temperatures, durability, and wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and military industries. It is a lightweight material with a good strength-to-weight ratio and offers dimensional stability. Other features of Vespel plastic include:
- Performs well in extreme conditions and a wide range of temperatures
- Features chemical, electrical, wear, and thermal resistance properties
- Displays low wear and friction at high PV in lubricated and unlubricated environments
- Offers high mechanical strength at a lighter weight compared to metal, ceramics, and other polymers
- Demonstrates low creep and low out-gassing characteristics
Options for High-Quality Vespel Machined Parts
Vespel machined parts offer material features designed to support high-wear components in their applications. Due to Vespel’s strength, dimensional stability, stiffness, and ability to perform under vacuum, radiation, oxygen compatibility, cryogenic conditions, and exposure to flame, it is one of the highest-performance engineering materials since 1965. Vespel is easily machinable and is favorable for the following components:
- Bearings, bushings, and seals
- Thrust washers and wear rings
- Wear pads and strips
- Test sockets and wafer guides
- Glass handling components
- Tube clamps and insulators
- Injection molded and assembled composite parts
- Centrifugal pump wear components
- Pump parts in hydrocarbon, chemical, and water service pumps
