Custom CNC Machining for UHMW Plastic Parts
Expert CNC Machining for UHMW Plastic Parts
At Rocky Mountain CNC Works, we specialize in custom CNC machining for UHMW plastic parts. UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a versatile, high-performance plastic that offers exceptional wear resistance, impact strength, and low friction, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
We serve a wide range of industries, including material handling, manufacturing, food processing, and automotive. Whether you need precision prototypes or large-scale production runs, our CNC machining services ensure that your UHMW parts meet your exact specifications and performance standards.
Why Choose UHMW for CNC Machining?
UHMW is one of the most durable and versatile plastics available, making it the top choice for industrial applications that require wear resistance, impact strength, and chemical resistance. Here are a few key reasons why UHMW parts outperform other materials:
- Low Friction: UHMW’s incredibly low coefficient of friction makes it perfect for conveyor systems, sliding parts, and wear-resistant components.
- High Impact Strength: Unlike other plastics, UHMW can withstand heavy impacts without cracking or shattering, which is why it’s commonly used in material handling, automotive, and industrial machinery.
- Chemical Resistance: UHMW resists harsh chemicals and is FDA-compliant, making it ideal for food processing and pharmaceutical applications.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: UHMW stands up to abrasion, making it the material of choice for guides, bearings, and rollers.
At Rocky Mountain CNC Works, we understand the unique properties of UHMW and have the experience and equipment needed to machine it with precision and efficiency.

Applications of UHMW CNC Machined Parts
UHMW CNC machined parts are used across a wide range of industries due to their excellent performance in demanding environments. Here are some common applications:
Material Handling
UHMW’s low friction and wear resistance make it ideal for conveyor systems, rollers, bearings, and guides in material handling and logistics systems. It minimizes friction while maintaining its durability under heavy loads.
Food Processing
Thanks to its chemical resistance and FDA compliance, UHMW is widely used in the food industry for bushings, wear strips, and guides. Its non-stick properties and resistance to corrosion make it a reliable material for food production environments.
Automotive
UHMW’s impact resistance and wear properties are ideal for bushings, sliders, and protective parts in the automotive industry. It withstands the mechanical stresses that come with high-impact environments.
Industrial Machinery
UHMW is frequently used in industrial machinery due to its ability to handle high-impact loads and abrasion. Parts such as machine components, wear plates, and guides benefit from UHMW’s toughness and longevity.
Whether you need custom UHMW parts for automotive components, material handling systems, or food processing equipment, our team can deliver precise, high-performance parts tailored to your industry’s needs.
