engineering plastic gears
Reducing friction and wear of gears with high-performance polymers The gears are made of POLYWEL® PEEK material and are tested on the gear test bench of Changzhou Puwei Whether in AdBlue or in oil pumps, mass balance differentials, electric engines or car
Strong, corrosion-resistant materials for plastic gears
ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT FOR UNDERWATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Corrosion-resistant saltwater gears
The challenge: The scanning system used for inspecting pipes in underwater applications consists of a series of gears that enable the device to function properly. Since the device is used in seawater, the OEM needed an alternative to steel gears, as steel is prone to corrosion in seawater, and lubrication cannot be applied in the environment.
The solution: We selected our self-lubricating, corrosion resistant Duratron® T4203 PAI to replace the steel components in the scanning equipment.
The results: The Duratron® T4203 PAI gears exhibit high impact strength, mechanical strength, and stiffness. The gear material maintains reliable performance even under the heavy loads and in the extreme operating environment. Additional properties, like resistance to corrosion and self-lubrication, made this PAI grade an ideal material selection for this application.
