Characteristics, characteristics, and properties of Vespel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main features of Vespel are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Can withstand conditions ranging from extremely low temperatures to exposed to fire<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Excellent wear resistance, sliding properties, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical properties<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Good gas release resistance in vacuum<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Good machinability and easy machining with small tolerances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Detailed characteristics of each type, such as Spell\u00ae SP-1, are introduced below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types and uses of Vespel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here, we will introduce some of the typical types of “Vespel\u00aeSP series” and “Vespel\u00aeSCP series” regarding their characteristics and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00aeSP-1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00ae SP-1 is a Vespel material made of 100% polyimide resin, and has the characteristics of heat resistance, insulation, and high mechanical strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applications: Used in many industrial fields such as insulation, insulation parts and valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00aeSP-21<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00ae SP-21 is a Vespel material containing 15% graphite by weight. Materials for use under a wide range of friction and wear conditions and function with or without lubrication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applications: Typical parts include thrust washers, seal rings, gears, and bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00aeSP-22<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00ae SP-22 is a Vespel material containing 40% graphite by weight. It has excellent wear resistance due to improved lubricity due to graphite.
It also has good dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and excellent creep resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApplication: Used in sliding parts such as radial bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00aeSCP-5000<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vespel\u00ae SCP-5000 is a high-grade Vespel wood. In addition to having superior strength compared to Vespel\u00ae SP-1, it also has improved thermal stability, chemical resistance, and plasma resistance.
Another feature is that there is little weight loss when exposed to high temperatures and dimensional changes due to water absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApplications: Used in plasma-resistant parts and parts that require dimensional stability, such as liquid crystals and semiconductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
