UPE Flanges conform to the following Standards/Norms:
UPE Flanges are available in inside diameter sizes ranging from 4mm to 20mm and are engineered from Ultra-Polyethylene (UPE), a high-performance polymer known for its exceptional thermal stability and mechanical strength. UPE offers superior resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and radiation, making these flanges suitable for use in extreme environments. The material's excellent dimensional stability and low outgassing properties are ideal for applications in aerospace, semiconductor, and medical industries where precision and purity are critical. UPE flanges also provide outstanding electrical insulation and wear resistance, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in demanding applications.
Inside Diameter (mm): 4, 5, 5.1, 9.7, 10, 12.7, 15.7, 20
Outside Diameter (mm): 6, 8, 10, 16, 15, 19.3, 23, 26
Overall Length (mm): 5.5, 5.9, 8, 8.8, 9, 11, 16.5, 18, 20, 21.5
Advantages:
High Wear Resistance: UPE flanges exhibit remarkable wear resistance, making them ideal for applications where frequent friction and abrasion occur. This property ensures prolonged durability and minimizes the need for frequent replacements.
Exceptional Toughness: UPE is characterized by its outstanding toughness, enabling the flanges to withstand impact and mechanical stress without deforming or cracking. This resilience contributes to the longevity of the flanges in demanding operating conditions.
Chemical Stability: UPE flanges maintain their structural integrity when exposed to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. This chemical stability makes them suitable for use in corrosive environments where other materials may deteriorate over time.
Self-Lubricating: UPE possesses inherent self-lubricating properties, reducing friction between moving parts and minimizing the need for additional lubrication. This feature enhances operational efficiency and reduces maintenance requirements.
Wear-Resistant: UPE flanges resist wear even under high-stress conditions, ensuring consistent performance over an extended service life. This attribute is particularly advantageous in applications involving continuous sliding or rotating movements.
Uses:
Rotating Machinery: UPE flanges are commonly employed in rotating machinery such as conveyor systems, gears, and bearings. Their high wear resistance and self-lubricating nature facilitate smooth operation and minimize maintenance downtime.
Material Handling Equipment: In material handling equipment like chutes, hoppers, and guide rails, UPE flanges offer superior wear resistance, ensuring reliable performance in abrasive environments. Their toughness enables them to withstand the impact of bulk materials without suffering damage.
Food and Beverage Industry: Due to their chemical stability and compliance with food safety regulations, UPE flanges find applications in the food and beverage industry. They are utilized in processing equipment, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery where hygiene and durability are paramount.
Automotive Components: UPE flanges are employed in automotive components such as suspension systems, pivot points, and sliding mechanisms. Their combination of wear resistance and toughness makes them well-suited for withstanding the rigors of vehicle operation.
Medical Devices: In medical devices and equipment, UPE flanges contribute to reliable performance due to their biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and durability. They are utilized in applications ranging from surgical instruments to prosthetic components.
In summary, UPE flanges offer a compelling combination of wear resistance, toughness, chemical stability, and self-lubrication, making them invaluable in a diverse range of industries and applications where reliable performance and extended service life are essential.
