Plastic Gears

 

Find Suppliers by Category

Gears are rotating mechanical devices employing 'teeth' in order to transmit torque between separate axes. Two or more cooperating gears are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage by changing speed, torque or rotation direction.

    Of Plastic Gear Materials. 6. Ability to operate with minimum or no lubrication, due to inherent. lubricity. Popular materials for plastic gears are acetal resins such as DELRIN*,. 7. Relatively low coefficient of friction. Duracon M90; nylon resins such as ZYTEL*, NYLATRON**, MC901 and. 8
  • Plastic gears outlast metal
    It's usually safe to assume that steel is stronger and more wear resistant than plastic. Replacing a metal gear with a nonlubricated plastic pinion eliminated maintenance headaches in a high-speed card feeder. But plastic gears have been shown to outperform metal ones in high-speed feeders
