Polymer Gears
Polymer Gears
Advantage of Polymer Gear over CI
- Elimination of noise pollution. Polymer gear bring down the noise levels considerably.
- Polymer gears are self lubrication. Hense maintenance is decreased because of lower lubrication needs. Improve shop floor cleanliness.
- Polymer gears have more life compared to CI gears as wear resistance of polymer is much better than that of CI
- Polymer gears require less power as coefficient of dynamic friction for polymers is much lower than that of CI
