Plastic gears are continuing to displace metal gears in a widening arena of applications. Their unique characteristics are also being enhanced with new developments, both in materials and processing. In this regard, plastics contrast somewhat dramatically with metals, in that the latter materials and processes are essentially fully developed and, therefore, are in a relatively static state of development.
Products & Services
Metric gears are defined by module, which designates the center-to-center distance between successive teeth.
Spur gears are straight-toothed gears with radial teeth that transmit power and motion between parallel axes.
Herringbone gears use teeth with two opposing helices and transmit power and motion between parallel axes. They sometimes have a center groove.
Bevel and miter gears have conical faces that operate on intersecting axes. Miter gears are bevel gears with a 1:1 ratio operating on right axes.
Worm gears are cylindrical gears with a spiral thread that drive mating worm wheels in high-reduction gearset applications. They operate on non-intersecting perpendicular axes.
