Gears are the mostly found transmission elements. In a typical gear assembly, one toothed steering wheel interlocks with another. Gearboxes are often used to deliver power or modify direction.
Plastic material gears, as the term suggests are made from plastic instead of metal. These include worm gears, spur gears, helical gears, pinion gears, tooth gears, bevel gears, and planetary gears. The materials can be a blend of Nylon (Nylon PA6 or Nylon PA66) and POM (Polyoxymethylene).
Benefits of Plastic Gear:
They can easily come in various shapes.
Plastic-type gears are relatively low-priced.
They produce lower noise compared to metal gears.
They are resistant to wear and tear as they have low friction coefficient.
Lightweight
Resistant to corrosion
Self-lubricated
These gears are used extensively in various power transmission and action control systems. Though we’ve listed simply five types of plastic-type material gears, we also offer customized gears as per client’s specifications.
