Product details

Nylon gear is a kind of gear made of nylon material. Nylon has good overall performance, including mechanical properties, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and self-lubricating, and low coefficient of friction, a certain degree of flame retardant, easy to process, suitable for filling with glass fibre and other fillers to enhance the rigidity, improve the performance and expand the scope of application, followed by overload protection, when the torque is too large, the gear itself is damaged, the power transmission is interrupted so as to protect the lower level of the device or the Personal safety, reduce losses.

Because nylon has non-toxic, lightweight, excellent mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and good corrosion resistance, so it is widely used to replace copper and other metals in machinery, chemical industry, instrumentation, automotive and other industries in the manufacture of bearings, gears, pump leaves and other parts. Polyamide melt spun into silk has a high strength, mainly synthetic fibres and can be used as medical sutures.

Oil nylon it is a real sense of self-lubricating nylon, oil nylon in the casting process to form a liquid lubrication system, so that the oil nylon bearing service life is significantly improved, up to 6 times the life of ordinary nylon bearings and phosphor bronze bearings life of 25 times! The lubricant contained in oil nylon is not lost, adsorbed or depleted and does not need to be re-added. Lubricants in oil nylon greatly broaden the scope of use of nylon, especially for some parts that can not be lubricated.

Nylon gears: the perfect alternative to metal gears?

Nylon gears are becoming increasingly popular in a variety of industries, gradually replacing traditional materials such as steel, wood, copper, cast iron and phenolic. The advantages and disadvantages of nylon gears are listed below:

Advantages of Nylon Gears

Low noise operation: Nylon gears operate at a lower noise level than traditional metal gears, making them suitable for applications requiring a quiet environment.

Lubrication-free operation: Nylon gears do not require lubricants, reducing the pollution and maintenance costs associated with lubricants.

Low inertia: Nylon gears have lower inertia than traditional metal gears, improving mechanical efficiency.

Corrosion resistance: Nylon gears have good corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in wet or corrosive environments.

Lightweight and self-lubricating: nylon gears are lightweight, fatigue resistant, shock absorbing and self-lubricating, especially suitable for parts that are afraid of lubricant staining or cannot be lubricated frequently.

Disadvantages of nylon gears

Lower strength: Compared with metal gears, nylon gears have lower strength and are suitable for occasions that do not require high strength.

Characteristics of aluminium gears

High strength: Aluminium gears are stronger than nylon gears and are suitable for applications requiring high strength.

Various processing methods: Aluminium gears have more processing and forming methods.

Nylon gears are effective in various industrial applications such as textile, paper, printing, machinery, etc. They do not hurt the corresponding gears or coupling machine parts and have low noise.

Gears made of MC nylon have excellent abrasion and impact resistance, making them ideal for use in equipment that requires long periods of operation. Compared to metal gears, it's lighter and quieter, making it ideal for scenarios where quiet operation is a requirement. If you're looking for a gear solution that is both durable and stable, MC nylon is definitely worth considering.

Then there are the POM plastic gears, which are much harder and suitable for high-speed running environments. For some precision instruments or small equipment, POM gears are ideal. Whether it's helical gears, conical gears or sprocket racks, they can be custom machined to meet the needs of different scenarios.
