Non-Metallic Gears
Non-Metallic Gear
Custom non-metallic gears in engineering plastics and composites, for drives where metal gears are not suitable: low friction, quiet running and resistance to chemicals and oils.
Non-metallic gears suit applications where traditional metal gears are not the right choice. We make them to customer requirements.
Options
- Material: engineering plastics (for example nylon or PEEK), composites or thermosetting polymers, chosen for strength, wear resistance and chemical compatibility.
- Tooth profile: designed with you for efficient power transmission and smooth operation, taking into account load distribution, noise and vibration damping.
- Gear ratio: chosen for the speed and torque the application needs.
- Machining: CNC machining for tight tolerances and precise tooth profiles.
Properties
- Heat resistance: made to withstand the operating temperature and thermal cycling.
- Chemical resistance: resist degradation from chemicals, oils and other harsh substances.
- Low friction: inherent lubricity reduces friction, wear and maintenance.
Applications
Automotive, medical devices, food processing and packaging machinery.
- Engineering plastics, composites or thermosets
- Low friction, self-lubricating
- Resistant to chemicals and oils
- Tooth profile designed for the load
Made to customer specification. No standard catalogue SKU.
