UHMWPE Machined Components: From Wear Plates to Custom Engineering Parts

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the most versatile and durable engineering plastics available today. Known for its excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, impact strength, and chemical resistance, UHMWPE is widely used to manufacture a variety of machined components that improve equipment performance and reduce maintenance costs.

Common UHMWPE Machined Components

Wear Plates & Liners
Protect metal surfaces from abrasion, reduce noise, and improve material flow in hoppers, chutes, and conveyors.

Conveyor Parts
Chain guides, sprockets, scraper blades, and rollers made from UHMWPE extend conveyor lifespan and minimize lubrication requirements.

Bushings & Bearings
Lightweight and self-lubricating, UHMWPE bushings are an ideal replacement for bronze or nylon in heavy-duty machinery.

Gears & Rollers
Provide quiet operation and corrosion resistance in industries where metals may fail due to wear or chemical exposure.

Seals & Gaskets
Machined to precise tolerances, UHMWPE seals and gaskets perform well in harsh chemical or wet environments.

Marine Fenders & Pads
Used in ports and offshore structures, UHMWPE offers impact resistance and low water absorption, ensuring long service life.

Custom CNC Machined Parts
Complex shapes, blocks, or inserts tailored to customer CAD drawings for unique industrial applications.

Industries Benefiting from UHMWPE

UHMWPE components are commonly used in:

  • Mining & Quarrying

  • Cement & Concrete Production

  • Food Processing (FDA-compliant grades available)

  • Material Handling & Logistics

  • Marine & Offshore Equipment

  • Recycling & Waste Management

  • Automotive & Heavy Machinery

Advantages of UHMWPE Machined Parts

  • Superior Wear Resistance – lasts longer under abrasive conditions.

  • Self-Lubricating – eliminates the need for external lubricants.

  • Chemical & Corrosion Resistance – suitable for acidic, alkaline, and marine environments.

  • Impact Toughness – resists cracking and absorbs shocks.

  • Customizable – available in natural, black, UV-stabilized, and FDA-approved grades.


Ordering Custom UHMWPE Components

When requesting a quotation, it is helpful to provide:

  • CAD or technical drawings with dimensions and tolerances

  • Desired material grade (standard, UV-resistant, FDA, or filled variants)

  • Expected quantity and delivery schedule

  • Special requirements such as drilled holes, pockets, or logo engraving
