Where can I buy custom made plastic gears?
Our engineering department can help in customizing gears to your drawings and specifications. We also have a large inventory of off-the shelf Plastic Gears available for immediate shipment overnight worldwide. Our online Gear Shop has all the plastic gears you need.
What’s the difference between plastic gears and metal gears?
They’re often called screw or crossed-helical gears. These plastic gears are lighter and quieter than metal gears— pair them with metal worms for lubrication-free operation. Worm gears use screw threads to make large reductions to shaft speed while transmitting motion at a right angle.
How are parts installed in a transmission chain?
Gear transmission chain modelling involves the processes of installing parts on shafts and connecting of the meshing gear pairs. Parts are installed on shafts with two kinds of constraints. The first one is axial location constraint, which constraints the part from moving along the shaft, and usually implemented by using a shoulder in the shaft.
What kind of resin is used in plastic gears?
The most plastic gears that are in use nowadays are made from either Duracon with milky white color (polyacetal resin) or MC nylon with blue color (polyamide resin).
What are the different types of plastic gears?
We offer: Precision Plastic Spur Gears, Plastic Gear Rack, Plastic Miter & Bevel Gears, Plastic Worm Gears & Worms, Plastic Bevel Gears, Plastic Gear Blanks, Plastic Pinions, and Plastic Flexible Gear Rack – Flexirack. Many of our plastic gears are offered with the Fairloc® Hub.
What are the teeth of power transmission gears?
The gear teeth of such gearsets are either bevel (straight, spiral or zerol), worm, hypoid, skew or crossed-axis helical gears. The most common are bevel gearsets with teeth cut on an angular or conical shape. Hypoid gears are much like spiral-bevel gearsets, but the input and output shaft axes don’t intersect, so it’s easier to integrate supports.
What kind of hub do I need for plastic gears?
Many of our plastic gears are offered with the Fairloc® Hub. Call for assistance in finding the right gear, modifications for a standard catalog item or custom design, our engineers will offer the best solution for your application.
