plastic worm gear

Gears are the most commonly found transmission factors. In a typical gear assembly, one toothed steering wheel interlocks with another. Gearboxes can be used to deliver power or alter direction.

Plastic-type gears, as the term suggests are made of plastic instead of metal. These include worm gears, spur gears, helical gears, pinion gears, tooth gears, bevel gears, and planetary gears. The materials can be a combo of Nylon (Nylon PA6 or Nylon PA66) and POM (Polyoxymethylene).

Advantages of Plastic Gear:

They can easily come in various shapes.
Plastic-type gears are relatively low-cost.
They produce lower noise compared to metal gears.
They are resistant to wear and tear because they have low friction plastic worm gear coefficient.
Lightweight
Resistant to corrosion
Self-lubricated

These gears are being used extensively in various power transmission and movement control systems. Though we’ve listed simply five types of plastic-type gears, we also provide customized gears according to client’s specifications.
