plastic gear

The function of plastic gears

Automotive industry: 

Plastic gears play a role in components such as car dashboards, air conditioning systems, window lifters, etc.,

 reducing vehicle weight, improving fuel efficiency, and lowering production costs.

Automated machinery: 

Plastic gears are used in various sensors and actuators on automated production lines to provide precise 

and reliable motion control while reducing the overall weight and cost of the system.

Consumer electronics: 

Plastic gears are widely used in consumer electronics products such as cameras, printers, 

and small appliances due to their excellent wear resistance and noise reduction effect, 

which enhances product performance and user experience.

Medical equipment: 

In the medical industry, plastic gears are used in various portable medical devices and instruments, 

and their high precision and low noise characteristics are crucial for improving equipment performance.

Advantages of Plastic Gears

Lightweight: 

Plastic gears are lightweight and can significantly reduce the burden on transmission systems, 

especially in the aerospace and automotive manufacturing fields. 

Lightweight design is of great significance for improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.

Wear resistance: 

Some plastic gears, such as PEEK, have excellent wear resistance, 

which can effectively reduce gear wear and extend service life.

Shock absorption and noise reduction: Plastic gears usually have good shock absorption performance, 

which can reduce the vibration and noise of the transmission system during operation 

and improve the comfort of mechanical equipment use.

Chemical resistance: Some plastic gears, such as PEEK, have good chemical resistance 

and can resist most chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts, making them suitable for special environments.

Self lubrication: Some plastic gears, such as PEEK, have good self-lubricating properties 

and do not require additional lubricating oil, reducing maintenance costs.

Molding performance: Plastic gears can be produced using molding processes 

such as injection molding and extrusion, with short molding cycles and high production efficiency.

plastic has a good formabilit, don't need to machining them in many cases,

even though the gear, we can use it directly after injection,

we can develop the plastic mould in house, material can be PP,PE, POM,Nylon,etc.

or inject some insert into to get a good strength and physical performance.
