1. The main advantages of nylon gears:

Self-lubricating performance

Low friction during operation, can work without lubrication or less lubrication.

Low-noise operation

Nylon has good flexible shock absorption performance, which can significantly reduce the noise when the gears are meshing.

Light weight

It is about 1/7 of the weight of steel gears, suitable for equipment with high requirements for lightweight, such as model airplanes, power tools, etc.

Strong wear resistance

Especially modified nylon or oil-containing nylon, has a longer life under repeated operation.

Corrosion resistance

Not afraid of water, oil, weak acid and alkali, suitable for hot and humid or corrosive environments.

Easy to process and easy to shape

Can be manufactured by injection molding or machining, suitable for mass production.

Electrical insulation

Suitable for occasions in electrical or electronic machinery to avoid conductive failure.

2. Common types of nylon gears:

Spur Gear

Helical Gear

Bevel Gear

Worm Gear

Rack

3. Common application scenarios:

Household appliances (such as printers, washing machines, fans)

Toys, power tools

Car seat drive, electric sunroof

Conveying equipment, food machinery (food-grade nylon is optional)

Intelligent robots, model transmission systems

4. Precautions for nylon gears:

Not suitable for high load, high speed, and high torque occasions, because nylon is easily deformed by heat.

Long-term hot and humid environment may cause water absorption and expansion, so low water absorption nylon or closed design should be used.

Pay attention to lubrication or use materials with matching hardness when meshing with metal gears to reduce wear.
