UHMW-PE CNC Machining Applications & Parts

UHMW-PE is renowned for its extreme impact strength, outstanding abrasion resistance, and low coefficient of friction, making it the ideal material for high-wear, low-maintenance components we expertly machine.

Typical Parts We Machine from UHMW-PE:

Material Handling: Conveyor Chain Guides, Wear Strips, Hopper Liners
Articulating Components: Gears, Bearings, Bushings, Slider Pads
Industrial Liners: Chute Liners, Dump Truck Bed Liners, Dock Bumpers

Our Machining Advantage:

We use sharp, specially ground tools and specific feed rates to cleanly shear UHMW-PE rather than gumming it, achieving dimensionally accurate parts with smooth, ready-to-use surfaces.
