Igus: High wear-resistant double gears can be designed online and delivered with lightning
With the help of special processing equipment, the manufacture of double gears not only takes a lot of time, but also the accuracy of the products is often unsatisfactory. Now, the design of the duplex gear prototype can be done quickly with the online configuration tool of igus. In addition, simply upload the CAD data and choose the igus 3D printing service to produce the desired product. The lubrication-free, high-performance engineering plastics developed for gear applications ensure that customized, special components have a longer service life.
Double gears are extremely common parts of the designer's daily work. Different plastic gears are designed for different stages of the application, such as the need to change the force, torque or speed of the gear. Only when the gears reach the best degree of meshing can they run quietly and be durable – this is the role and advantage of gear involute. But the problem is: the geometry of this involute gear is very complex and it takes a lot of time to make it without the assistance of the right processing equipment. Even small errors can increase wear and noise. That's right, the gear designer of igus is the solution. With this online tool, users can design personalized double gears in just a few seconds and order directly online.
Perfect 3D printed sample for fast design
The online configurator can be used to design simple gears and double gears. The designer simply selects the appropriate gear module and sets the number of teeth and the transmitted torque, such as flat holes, square holes or holes with keyways. The configurator automatically creates a 3D model of the optimal mode of the involute double gear based on the data entered by the user to ensure that the designed gear can operate quietly and permanently. It's that simple, with no complicated external CAD programs and error-prone manual operations. The next step is to get your perfect sample through igus' 3D printing service!
3D print out gears in a few hours
3D printing of custom parts is as fast and time-saving as online configuration of gears. In just a few days, customers can receive 3D print gears from igus using laser sintering. Sports plastics expert igus' 3D printer uses a laser sintering process to process iglidur I6 sintered powder for gear applications, producing up to 3,000 gears per day. Machining of custom gears typically takes several weeks, while 3D printing makes the small-volume production of gears more cost-effective. Igus' online configuration and processing services can reduce operating costs. Thanks to the maintenance-free self-lubricating material iglidur I6, specially developed for gear applications, igus' 3D printing gears are more robust and wear resistant. Tests in the igus internal laboratory have shown that gears made with iglidur I6 high-performance engineering plastics have not experienced significant wear after running 1 million cycles at 5 N/m torque and 12 rpm. Gears molded from thermoplastic polyoxymethylene (POM) have been severely worn after 321,000 cycles. The service life of the former is more than three times longer than the latter.
