Custom Gears
Need a custom gear for a new project or product? We're here to help you.
Many
methods are available for manufacturing gears including:
A suitable method can be
selected depending upon the quality requirements, production quantity,
cost, material and application.
In order for gears to achieve their required performance, the
selection of a suitable gear material is important. Common choices include: Stainless Steel ... Nylon ...Steel ...Acetal ...Brass and Teflon. Ferrous metals are the most widely used for gears, offering high
strength, response to heat treatment and low cost. Cast iron, carbon
steels and alloy steels are in common use. Non-ferrous metals usually offer good machinability, light weight,
corrosion resistance and are non-magnetic. The commonly used
non-ferrous materials for gears are brass or bronze. Plastics are also
commonly used for gears via injection molding.
