Can the new nylon material be used on gears?

New nylon material is widely used in gear manufacturing, and its comprehensive performance is significantly better than traditional metal materials. The specific advantages are as follows:

1. Self lubrication and low wear
Nylon gears contain lubricating components that can form a permanent lubricating layer during meshing, reducing friction losses and achieving "oil-free operation". Compared to metal gears, it operates with less noise and has a lower long-term wear rate, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

2. High strength and impact resistance
Nylon material has excellent mechanical strength and toughness, and can withstand high load operation. Its impact resistance is dozens of times that of ordinary engineering plastics, and it is not easy to break in frequent start stop or variable speed scenarios, effectively extending the service life of gears.

3. Chemical corrosion resistance
It has strong resistance to corrosive media such as acid, alkali, organic solvents, and seawater, and is suitable for harsh environments such as chemical equipment and ship machinery, avoiding common corrosion problems of metal gears.

4. Lightweight and energy consumption reduction
The density is only 1/7 of metal, which reduces the overall weight of the equipment, lowers the inertia of the transmission system, and helps improve mechanical energy efficiency. It is particularly suitable for weight sensitive fields such as automobiles and aerospace.

5. High processing flexibility
Complex tooth shapes can be formed in one go through injection molding, casting and other processes, supporting customized formula adjustment (such as adding fiberglass reinforcement), without the need for later cutting processing, with high production efficiency and controllable costs.

6. Wide temperature adaptability
Maintain stable performance within the range of -269 ℃ to 80 ℃, with no brittle cracking at low temperatures and no deformation at high temperatures, suitable for cold storage equipment or high-temperature industrial machinery.

7. Safety protection features
When overloaded, it prioritizes self damage and can act as a "fuse" for mechanical systems, protecting downstream critical components from damage and enhancing equipment safety.
