VICTREX HPG^TM POLYMER GEARS - A VIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO METAL GEARS

In efforts of reducing system cost while improving performance, VICTREX HPG gears have been found to offer:

• Cost reduction potential for mass production due to the economical, one-step injection-molding manufacturing process of our PEEK gears
• Reduced part cost through eliminating secondary machining, hardening, or finishing operations while generating less scrap
• Reduced system cost through considerably reducing weight, inertia and system complexity.

POLYMER GEAR SOLUTIONS THAT GO BEYOND METAL PERFORMANCE

Compared to metal gears, VICTREX HPG™ polymers enable a range of performance benefits:

• Improved powertrain NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) performance - up to 50% (3 dB) reduction in powertrain NVH eliminates gear whine, while supporting driving comfort
• Lower energy consumption from a 70% weight reduction and improved responsiveness, with moment inertia reduced by 80%
• Reliable performance in aggressive environments with chemical and corrosion resistance, vibration isolating properties, low CoF

EFFICIENT AND FAST MANUFACTURING THAT HELPS ACCELERATE YOUR TIME TO THE MARKET

• Hybrid technology allows overmoulded inserts of metal, composites or other plastics
• Precise and repeatable manufacturing ensuring net shape components with tight tolerances.
• 100 % recyclable material and the environmentally-friendly one-step injection molding process vs a machined metal process that generates large amounts of scrap
