INTRODUCTION:
The first bearings recorded in history were likely made of wood or bronze, but modern engineers 
can choose from a variety of materials ranging from classical choices such as stainless steel to various types of polymers. One modern (and fascinating) bearing material is PEEK. In this article, we will look at five specific characteristics of PEEK that have allowed it to evolve as a popular material for bearings.
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colorless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. Polyetherketone (PEK) and Polyertheretherketone (PEEK) are durable high performance engineered plastics whose structures combine both ether and ketone groups. High performance engineered plastics like PEEK plastic products outperform metals in 5 key areas in cutting-edge engineering technology.
