PEEK PVX gerotor
The part shown in the image is a “gerotor” used in the racing industry and machined, in the tribological grade of PEEK.
The gerotor is a volumetric pumping unit consisting of two elements placed in rotation.
The outer rotor has one more tooth than the inner rotor, and both rotate with respect to axes offset from each other.
During the rotation cycle, the volumes formed by the teeth of the rotors vary dynamically by sucking in and pumping out the working fluid.
The requirements of ensuring smooth and friction-free rotational motion, combined with that of achieving precise pumping operations, led to the choice of PEEK PVX, a plastic material that shows dimensional stability, thermal and chemical resistance and excellent tribological properties, as the raw material, material and the need to guarantee very tight dimensional and shape tolerances.
Two-stage rotor
Mchined plastic parts are often requested in the racing sector where the low production volume does not justify the construction of the necessary molding equipment.
The part shown in the image obtained in PEEK by milling is characterized by the need to ensure tight shape and dimensional tolerances combined with a total absence of burrs and imperfections
