PEEK™ polymer provides high performance and design freedom for electric parking system
TRW, a global technology, manufacturing and service company, has selected PEEK™ polymer as a cost-effective, innovative design solution for an electrically controlled parking brake. An actuator unit, which consists of an electric motor, and a gearing unit activate the brake. The use of VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer allowed TRW to economically develop a high-efficiency gearing concept with a transmission ratio of 150:1 within a limited space. Furthermore, the polymer provided lighter, quieter running parts than could be achieved with metal.

Rapid's 10 Series is silent and runs like clockwork
The low-volume grinding of hard, thick-walled and/or brittle injection-moulding sprues and rejects requires a special type of granulator. The three models in the Rapid 10 Series, on exhibit at K 2001, are perfectly equipped to meet this need. Unlike other grinders, the 10 Series design is based on rotating cutters and fixed blades which determine the uniform 4 mm regrind size, thus eliminating the need for a perforated screen.
