Material: PEEK
Features and advantages: long wear life, low noise, lightweight, low manufacturing cost
Alternative materials: metal
Product development trend in the industry: PEEK gears can reduce weight by up to 70% compared with metal while ensuring flexibility, reduce moment of inertia by 80%, improve corresponding capacity, and reduce noise by 50%. Low friction coefficient, wear resistance, long service life, and can withstand corrosion from automotive oil. Compared with metal gears, PEEK gears can use injection molding technology to effectively reduce costs, and have higher flexibility in mass production and design freedom. They are widely used in: water pump gears, oil pump gears, seat adjuster gears, electronic clutch crown gears, air conditioning transmission gears, etc.
