Power Transmission Components & Parts Manufacturing

 

Power Transmission Components & Parts Manufacturing Overview
How are plastics used in power transmission applications?

Gears: Acetal, Delrin? acetal homopolymer, nylon, and UHMW are all used to manufacture gears. These materials offer strength, wear resistance, and low friction properties, making them suitable for transmitting power and motion within machinery.

Bushings and Bearings: Acetal, Delrin? acetal homopolymer, and nylon are often utilized for producing bushings and bearings. These materials provide durability, low friction, and self-lubricating properties, enabling smooth operation and reducing wear in rotating or sliding applications.

Components Requiring Wear Resistance: UHMW, nylon, and Delrin? acetal homopolymer are commonly employed in applications that require excellent wear resistance. These materials can withstand abrasive conditions and provide long-lasting performance in components such as wear strips, guide rails, chain guides, and rollers.

Parts Requiring Impact Strength: UHMW and nylon are chosen for applications that require high-impact strength. These materials can absorb shocks and impacts, making them suitable for components exposed to sudden forces or heavy loads.

General Purpose Components: Polypropylene is often used in general-purpose machinery manufacturing for components such as housings, covers, tanks, and fluid handling systems. It offers chemical resistance, impact strength, and cost-effectiveness in these applications.

Materials for power transmission components & parts manufacturing applications fall under NAICS codes #3336, 333613, and 3339.
