Powder Metal Design Guidlines

From Perry Tool & Research, Inc.

One of the advantages of using a Powder Metal process to manufacture a part is the ability to design the part to exact specifications that eliminate the need for secondary operations or additional machining. Parts can be simple or complex and combined with other parts to reduce assembly costs. Here are some basic design guidelines to follow to increase the feasibility of producing your part using Powder Metallurgy. The engineers at Perry Tool & Research will work with your design teems to ensure that a part meets your exact requirements, is well engineered, and is economical to produce.

Gears

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.

Spur Gears

Spur gears are the simplest type of gear. Transmitting power between parallel axes, the teeth project radially on the disc.
