In the field of industrial manufacturing, gears are important transmission components, and their material selection directly affects the performance of the entire mechanical equipment. Compared to traditional metal gears, PEEK gears have significant advantages in lightweight, wear resistance, shock absorption and noise reduction, and chemical resistance, providing higher performance guarantees for various industries.
Advantages of PEEK gears
Lightweight: Compared with traditional metal gears, PEEK gears have significant advantages in lightweight design. PEEK gears of the same size weigh only about 1/5 of metal gears, greatly reducing the burden on the entire transmission system. Lightweight design is of great significance for improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in fields such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
Wear resistance: The wear resistance of PEEK gears is another major advantage. Gear wear is a common issue in many transmission systems. PEEK gears have excellent wear resistance, which can effectively reduce gear wear and extend service life.
Shock absorption and noise reduction: PEEK gears have good shock absorption performance, which can effectively reduce the vibration and noise of the transmission system during operation. This is of great significance for improving the comfort of mechanical equipment and reducing environmental pollution.
Chemical resistance: PEEK gears have good chemical resistance and can resist the corrosion of most chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts.
Self lubrication: PEEK has good self-lubricating properties and does not require additional lubricating oil, reducing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, self-lubricating properties can also reduce the energy consumption of gears during operation and improve transmission efficiency.
