How to Design Plastic Gears

Plastic gears are made of thermoplastic resin that changes shape when heated. This process, called injection molding, is commonly used to produce gears for various applications. Experts recommend that you consider the application for which you are designing the gear before beginning the design process. For example, if you’re making gears for a machine, make sure you know the torque and speed of the machine. Then, gears are designed according to these characteristics.
Then, the tooth flanks are designed to minimize the effects of molding stress and maximize load-carrying capacity. The tooth size of plastic gears is essential for load carrying capacity. However, smaller teeth are more prone to dental errors and may experience more stress. To avoid these problems, choose plastic gears with a slightly narrower face than steel gears. This will reduce the chance of mechanical interference. Finally, design gears with a diameter greater than 1.
Plastic gears have several advantages over metal gears. They are easy to process and have excellent strength and elasticity. Plastic gears can be made from unfilled nylon, acetal, or polyamide. Many of these come in standard shapes, including rectangles, squares, and circles. If you need a lot of plastic gears, it’s cheaper to make them by molding. These plastic gears are also an excellent choice for various applications.

Where are plastic gears applications?

While there are many uses for plastic gears, the automotive industry has seen the most significant growth in recent years. As amenities and competitive advantage become increasingly important to automakers, they attempt to integrate gears and motors into vehicle subsystems. These components range from liftgates and seats to electronic throttle bodies and turbo controls.
The first consideration in choosing a plastic gear material is its strength. The material must be rigid enough to withstand the expected loads and resist dimensional changes due to changes in environmental conditions. Vendors can provide helpful information about these properties. Additionally, prototype gears must be tested under realistic conditions before being used in production. In addition to plastic gears, other materials can be used for these applications.
The advantage of plastic gears is that they are inexpensive to manufacture. They are also easy to process and can be done in the short run. However, the disadvantage of plastic gears is that they have high dimensional tolerances. Fortunately, plastic gears can be designed with a low coefficient of friction. Plastic gears can handle higher loads and speeds and are less likely to break or jam. The key is to choose an experienced and reliable manufacturer.

Q&A
