Resin gears: High-performance polymer "Igus gear," lightweight and maintenance-free.
From bevel gears, spur gears, to racks. Polymer gears that are wear-resistant and can be used without lubrication. Suitable for prototypes and samples. Available for order from one piece.
"Igridur gears" are high-performance polymer gears that can be used without lubrication and are maintenance-free. They have excellent wear resistance and a long lifespan. They are already being used in various applications. Both catalog items and custom products are available. - Three manufacturing methods to choose from: injection molding, machining, 3D printing - Oil-free, grease-free - Low wear, excellent wear resistance - Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, noise-reducing From small lots to mass production, we will advise customers on the best method among four main manufacturing methods: 3D printing, injection molding using 3D printed molds, machining from round bars, and injection molding from metal molds, depending on the quantity. There is no minimum order quantity; orders can be placed from just one piece.
basic information
Gears made from iglidur material, which has optimized wear characteristics, have a significantly longer lifespan compared to those made from PLA/ABS/POM. They are ideal not only for spur gears, worm wheels, and bevel gears, but also for elliptical gears, crown gears, racks, and worm gears. 【Why no lubrication? No oil?】 Iglidur is self-lubricating because solid lubricants are blended into the base polymer, eliminating the need for oils or other lubricants. This makes it hygienic and prevents malfunctions caused by debris entrapment. 【Long lifespan, and predictive lifespan calculations are possible!】 Based on years of results, a vast database on wear has been established, and igus's resins achieve unmatched low wear and long lifespan. Additionally, igus conducts thorough product testing based on actual usage conditions. This allows for accurate predictive lifespan calculations for the products.
