Plastic Gears Are the Future

Plastic gearing has been increasing in usage as designers better understand their benefits and limitations. These gears can be produced by hobbing or stamping or, for large-volume runs, by induction molding. Some of the key benefits of plastics in the production of gearing are: Reduced weight and lower inertia due to the lower density of the material Ability to absorb shock and vibration due to the elasticity of the material…. opener”>Read more> Plastic Gears Are the Future
