When there is a big temperature fluctuation in the application environment, when the diameter is huge or when right now there is load upon its keyway, metallic hub manufactured from S45C or stainless steel may sometimes be used. In these cases, one’s teeth part and the hub portion are attached together with screws. If it’s extremely hard to screw collectively, two parts are fused with each other and converted to fused gears. Ever-Power’s fused gears are designed in such a way that the holding strength of the fused Plastic Gear Rack surface area is stronger than the tooth strength.
The positive characteristics of plastic gears include being lightweight, non-rusting, tranquil, injection molding enabling low priced and huge production, and in a position to operate without lubrication by mating with metal gears. However, low strength, inclination to carry heat, large dimensional modify including backlash compared to steel, etc. are some of the points requiring caution. The amount of dimensional changes that take place with plastic gears depend on the capability to resist temperature alter, moisture absorption price and resistance to chemical substances.
As far as the applications of plastic-type material gears, they are found in varying industries such as food production machines, gadgets, chemical, toy, and medical gear industries.
Our engineering department can help in customizing gears to your drawings and specifications.
