We're taking a short break for Easter! We will be closed from Friday 18th April to Monday 21st April for the Easter Bank Holiday. We'll be back and ready to assist you on Tuesday 22nd April. Happy Easter from all of us!

High performance drive components

Wire Belt introduces our line of PEEK drive components. PEEK is an abbreviation for PolyEtherEther-Ketone, a high performance engineering thermoplastic that can operate at high temperatures and is less abrasive on your stainless steel belts than metal drive components. PEEK can be used continuously to 240°C and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. Our PEEK line is available for all Flat-Flex®, Versa-Link, and Compact-Grid drive components including: sprockets, blanks and end rollers.
