Bespoke Plastic Gears Tailored to Your Needs

Plastic gears come in various types and configurations, including spur, helical, bevel, worm, and planetary designs. At Flexiparts, we can fully customize plastic gear sets to match your exact specifications, ensuring optimal performance no matter the load, rotation, or mounting style.

Design Considerations for Plastic Gears

When planning a plastic gear, consider smooth operation, proper load support, and long-term durability. Choose materials suited to the speed, load, and environment. Ensure gear dimensions, including pitch, diameter, tooth profile, and bore, match your shafts and system. Account for friction, wear, and exposure to heat, chemicals, or moisture. Also, plan the rotation direction, mounting method, and the forces the gear will face to guarantee reliable performance.

FAQs of Plastic Gears

Which plastic material should I choose?

Material selection depends on load, speed, and environment (temp/chemicals). Common options are POM (precision), Nylon (wear/impact), and PEEK (high heat/strength). Send us your application data for the best choice.

Can you produce gears with metal inserts or bearings?

Yes. Our injection molded plastic gears can include metal inserts or assembled ball bearings for enhanced strength and load capacity.

Do plastic gears require lubrication?

Many plastics are self-lubricating (POM, specialty Nylon) and can run dry. For high-speed or heavy-duty applications, light lubrication is recommended to reduce wear, heat, and noise.

What affect the cost of custom gears?

Cost is primarily affects by the material type (specialty polymers are expensive), the required precision level (tighter tolerances increase cost), and the order volume.

Can you make gears with unusual sizes or complex tooth profiles?

Yes. Flexiparts specializes in fully custom gears, including non-standard sizes, complex tooth forms, or multi-profile designs, all produced with precise molding or CNC machining to meet your exact specifications.
