PIC Design offers standard and custom acetal plastic gears that are precision machined, allowing us to provide a comparable level of precision to an AGMA Q10 hobbed metallic gear. We offer precision machined acetal gears in the following types:
Our experts can help you select the right acetal gear for your application’s requirements.
Acetal Gears are ideal for use in a variety of industries including medical equipment, laboratory instruments, military and defense, aerospace, industrial systems and controls and office equipment. Some common applications include precision injection pumps, microplate readers, rotary encoders, sorting systems and more.
Acetal Gear Benefits
Acetal plastic gears offer a wide range of qualities that may make them ideal for your application compared to other materials such as metal or nylon. PIC's design engineers will work with you to help you select the right acetal gear type and features to meet your specific requirements.
Acetal Vs. Metal Gears
- Acetal gears do not require the same lubrication that some metal gears require. This makes them ideal for use in applications where grease or oil would be problematic.
- Acetal gears run more quietly than most metallic gears.
- Acetal is also more elastic than metals, allowing it to better handle shock and vibration.
Acetal Vs. Nylon Gears
- Acetal provides greater dimensional stability than nylon.
- Acetal absorbs less moisture and is more chemical-resistant than nylon.
- Acetal has better wear resistance than nylon.
