Driveflex GRPRB15/3 Metric 30% Glass Filled Nylon 6 Bevel Gear Pair with 1.5 MOD and 16/48 Teeth

Glass-Filled Nylon Bevel Gears: Glass-filled nylon bevel gears are high-performance, moulded components designed for smooth and efficient power transmission between intersecting shafts. The addition of glass fibre reinforcement significantly increases strength, stiffness, and temperature resistance, making these gears suitable for demanding applications such as industrial machinery, automation systems, agricultural equipment, and environments where lightweight, corrosion-resistant components are essential. Bevel gears are paired together and used to change the direction of power transmission as well as the speed. The reduction ratio varies between gear pairs but is greater for spiral bevel gears.
Lubrication: Glass-filled nylon gears can often operate with minimal lubrication due to their naturally low friction, though light application of compatible greases can improve wear life under higher loads. Care should be taken to use lubricants that are suitable for nylon and do not cause material degradation.
Material: Glass-filled nylon – a reinforced engineering plastic offering excellent mechanical strength, improved dimensional stability, enhanced wear resistance, and superior resistance to moisture and chemicals compared with standard nylon. Ideal for applications requiring a high stiffness-to-weight ratio and reliable performance in varied environments.
Benefits: Lightweight, low-noise, corrosion-resistant
