What is Cast Nylon Gear?

A cast nylon gear is a type of gear used in mechanical systems and is usually made from a special engineering plastic called Kestamite. Kestamite is a polyamide (nylon) based material and is known for its superior mechanical properties and durability. These gears offer some advantages over metal gears and are preferred in certain applications.

Advantages of Use

Lighter Than Metal Gears: Being lighter, it saves energy and reduces mechanical stress.
Easy Maintenance: It wears less and reduces maintenance costs with low lubrication requirements.
Cost Effective: Production costs are generally lower compared to metal gears.
Quiet Operation: Provides an advantage in noise-sensitive environments.

Areas of Use

A cast nylon gear have a wide range of applications in low to medium load bearing systems as a light, quiet, wear and corrosion resistant alternative to metal gears. Applications vary according to the requirements of mechanical systems in terms of durability, efficiency and quietness.
