need a finishing operation (surface finish, hardening etc) which add additional cost. VICTREX PEEK polymer gears derive cost benefits by the
injection molding process which is used to manufacture them. In addition, the
injection molding process allows for
custom optimized tooth profiles which can be used to provide specific performance profiles; such profiles cannot be produced in metal gears. For accurate gear profiles, tooling can be expensive but, amortized over long production runs, the cost...
