Plastic Machine Parts
Plastic machine parts refer to components or elements used in machinery that are made from plastic materials. These parts are designed to perform specific functions within a machine, ranging from structural support to facilitating movement or providing sealing or connecting mechanisms. Plastic machine parts are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, packaging, and manufacturing.
Materials that we used for machining are PP, PE, Nylon, Delrin, Teflon, Bakelite and other plastics.
Some examples of plastic machine parts include:
- Bearings: Plastic bearings are used to reduce friction and enable smooth movement in machines.
- Gears: Plastic gears are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and provide smooth and quiet operation in machinery.
- Bushings: Plastic bushings are used as sliding or rotating bearings to support shafts and reduce friction.
- Seals and gaskets: Plastic seals and gaskets are used to prevent leakage of fluids or gases between machine components.
- Housings and enclosures: Plastic housings and enclosures provide protection and support for internal components of machines.
- Conveyor belts and rollers: Plastic conveyor belts and rollers are commonly used in manufacturing and material handling processes.
- Guides and sliders: Plastic guides and sliders are used to facilitate linear or rotational movement in machinery.
- Connectors and fittings: Plastic connectors and fittings are used to join or secure different machine parts or components together.
- Pump impellers: Plastic impellers are used in pumps to generate fluid flow or pressure.
- Handles and knobs: Plastic handles and knobs are used for manual operation and control of machinery.
Plastic machine parts offer several advantages, such as lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and cost-effectiveness. However, the selection of plastic materials and the design of these parts should consider the specific requirements of the machine and the environment in which they will be used to ensure their durability and performance.
