We place particular emphasis on the quality and surface of our products to meet the highest standards. From SKT, you receive reliable solutions for your demanding requirements in the field of plastic turned parts.
Turned parts made of POM
POM is the short designation for polyoxymethylene, also known as polyacetal. It is an engineering thermoplastic with high strength, toughness, and good dimensional stability, known for its high wear resistance.
Turned parts made of PET
PET is the short designation for polyethylene terephthalate. This plastic is known for its high creep resistance and, when combined with long-term static loading, enables a reduction of the deformation and minimizes this to a barely noticeable level.
Turned parts made of PA
PA is the short designation for polyamide, often referred to as nylon. It offers a good combination of strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance.
Turned parts made of PEEK
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic. In addition to excellent mechanical properties, it offers high gliding quality and is highly resistant to high temperatures and chemical influences.
Areas of application for the plastic turned parts
Plastic coatings for ball bearings
These turned parts serve as a running layer for ball bearings or to protect the profile rail. The plastic thus protects sensitive surfaces and ensures smooth and easy running in the profile rail. SKT turned parts also contribute to exceptionally quiet running. These properties make our products suitable for furniture and construction fittings, intralogistics, and machine and plant engineering.
Plastic rollers as slide bearings
Whether assembled by SKT or by the customer, plastic turned parts are used in a wide variety of applications as slide bearings or simple rollers.
Regardless of whether they are used as load-bearing or guiding rollers, our turned parts enable low-friction movement and help ensure that doors and drawers, for example, can be opened and closed smoothly and quietly. Our plastic turned parts also take an important role in the conveyor industry.
SKT can also offer particularly robust and durable plastic turned parts that are resistant to impacts or flexion movements or have high impact strength.
Various industrial sectors
We also produce plastic turned parts for various specific industrial applications. These include applications in machine engineering, medical technology, and the electronics industry. Here, too, high loads and speeds, as well as various low-friction movements, must be continuously accommodated. These products are also used in simple applications, such as end pieces, plugs, and similar items. In some areas, our turned parts also demonstrate their resistance to aggressive environmental and weather conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions about our plastic turned parts
Are plastic turned parts available in custom dimensions?
Our plastic turned parts are available in diameters from 3 to 60 mm. The maximum width follows the rule of thumb of approximately 2.5 × D. Each part is custom-made and, depending on technical feasibility, can be produced in various geometries.
What tolerances are achievable in the production of plastic turned parts?
Tolerances largely depend on the geometry and size of the component and must be evaluated individually. We are happy to provide more detailed information regarding your specific part. Please contact us to discuss your exact requirements.
What are the lead times for custom-made plastic turned parts?
Depending on material availability, quantity, and any required tooling, we can, in the best case, deliver within 4 weeks.
What advantages do plastic turned parts offer compared to metal parts?
Plastic turned parts offer advantages such as lower cost and weight, excellent sliding properties, corrosion resistance, and insulating properties that metals cannot provide. Additionally, they benefit from good manufacturability.
Which plastics are particularly suitable for turned parts?
We are highly skilled in machining various types of POM, PET, PA, and PEEK, but we are also capable of working with other materials upon customer request.
