Nylon gears and aluminum gears are widely used, and they are also very common in life, so who is better?

It depends on the purpose. Nylon gears are often used in occasions where the transmission accuracy is not high, the force is not high, and the temperature is not high. Compared with nylon gears, aluminum gears have higher transmission accuracy, greater force, and higher temperature resistance.

Nylon has the properties of fatigue resistance, impact resistance, and wear resistance, making it extremely popular in gear applications. It has been successfully used in spur gears, worm gears, helical gears, and helical gears for 25 years. Today in various industries, nylon gears are constantly replacing steel, wood, copper, cast iron, and phenolic aldehyde.

 

Which is better, nylon gear or aluminum gear?

 

Therefore, the use of plastic fuel tanks is also technological advancement. It has better safety, no sparks, and is not easy to rust. The fuel consumption will be reduced when the car is lighter.The advantages of nylon gears;
1. Low operating noise
2. Operation without lubrication
3. Lower inertia than traditional metal gears
4. Corrosion resistance

Disadvantages of nylon gears: lower strength than corresponding metal gears

Aluminum gear has high strength and many processing methods. Therefore, gears of the two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, mainly depending on what occasion they are used for.
