PEEK materials, once classified as an important strategic defense materials, are now widely used in aviation, aerospace, military, nuclear power and other fields. Because of its strength, toughness, temperature resistance, low density and other aspects of performance is relatively outstanding, but also gradually in some special areas to replace the traditional metal materials, and then PEEK opened up its own development journey. In recent years, the localization of PEEK material applications are gradually expanding, the use of the industry is also increasing, the market demand is also more broad up.
A. UAV PEEK propeller
PEEK material has good overall performance, its use in the UAV propeller characteristics are.
1. Low density and light weight: In addition to the use of PEEK and its modified materials, you can also use PEEK and short fiber composites to improve the strength of the paddle itself.
2. High impact strength: If you encounter other foreign objects during the flight, the special material of the paddle will break the foreign object without damaging the paddle, which can keep the normal flight of the drone.
3. Dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc.: can be used normally in harsh environments, the paddle will not be deformed because of the external environment, long service life.
Second, night vision PEEK accessories
The development and updating of polymer materials technology has driven the rapid development of the military industry, where the excellent performance of PEEK materials are widely used in advanced single-armed equipment.
With the replacement of the supporting equipment for man-portable equipment, in order for soldiers to be able to run long distances and deep combat, the comprehensive performance of the equipment and lightweight requirements came to the fore.PEEK due to its low density characteristics, making it in the use of PEEK materials to make parts related to man-portable equipment, in reducing the weight of a great progress and breakthrough, greatly improving the use of equipment and man-portable combat radius. At the same time, in order to improve the accuracy of night observation, PEEK materials in the parts of the relevant night vision devices will also have a great application, such as handheld night vision devices, helmet-suspended night vision devices and firearms targeting systems use a large number of PEEK material parts.
PEEK material is actually applied to the parts of thermal imaging night vision devices and targeting systems in single-armed equipment, which are characterized by
1. Lightweight: easy to carry for a long time, reducing the weight of single-armed equipment.
2. High mechanical properties: PEEK as the tip of the engineering plastics pyramid, its strength, hardness and rigidity are better than other ordinary engineering plastics.
3. High physical properties: PEEK materials are resistant to wear and tear, high temperature resistance, dimensional stability and other characteristics that make PEEK materials are widely used in military equipment, and in any special environment can be used normally.
4. Chemically stable: PEEK materials have good corrosion resistance and more stable dimensions, even in bad weather does not affect the performance of the equipment.
