Gears are the mostly found transmission pieces. In a typical equipment assembly, one toothed wheel interlocks with another. Gearboxes can be used to deliver power or switch direction.

Plastic-type material gears, as the term suggests are created from plastic instead of metal. Included in these are 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).

Benefits of Plastic Gear:

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

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