Project Overview
An industrial machinery company required precision gears for power transmission. The project demanded tight tolerances, wear resistance, and reliable operation.
Challenge
- Tight Tolerances: ±0.025mm for proper meshing
- Wear Resistance: Long service life under load
- Power Transmission: Reliable torque transfer
- Volume: 500K+ applications
- Cost: Competitive for industrial market
Solution
Material & Manufacturing
- POM (Acetal) for wear resistance and low friction
- Precision molding with tight process control
- Optimized tooth profiles for smooth operation
- Self-lubricating properties
Testing & Validation
- Dimensional verification on all gears
- Wear testing under load
- Torque capacity validation
- Long-term durability studies
