The application of plastic gears has become more and more extensive. Compared with metal gears, it has many advantages, especially in cost, design, processing, and performance.

The design of plastic molding is not subject to too many constraints, and can efficiently manufacture gears in a short time. At the same time, the application fields of plastic gears are also wider than metal gears, so they promote the development of gears to withstand higher loads and transmit more power. The plastic gear is also an important material to meet the requirements of low-quiet operation, which requires high-precision, new tooth shape, and excellent lubricity or flexibility.

Plastic gears generally do not require secondary processing, so compared to stamping parts and machined metal gears, the cost is guaranteed to be reduced by 50% to 90%. Plastic gears are lighter and more inert than metal gears and can be used in environments where metal gears are prone to corrosion and degradation, such as the control of water meters and chemical equipment.

Plastic gears can deflect and deform to absorb the impact load, which can better distribute the local load changes caused by shaft deflection and wrong teeth. The inherent lubricating characteristics of many plastics make them ideal gear materials for printers, toys, and other low-load operating mechanisms. Lubricants are not included here. In addition to running in a dry environment, gears can also be lubricated with grease or oil.

The benefits of plastic gears are so many, which is why plastic gears are more and more widely used. If you need plastic gears, please consult us.
