Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive specifications and guidelines for plastic spur gears with a steel core, focusing on design, material properties, and operational considerations.
Specifications: The gears are constructed from MC602ST with an S45C core, featuring a standard full depth gear teeth design with a 20° pressure angle. The precision grade is JIS grade N9, with tooth hardness between 115 and 120 HRR. Detailed measurements for various gear models include bore, hub diameter, pitch diameter, and allowable torque.
Holding Strength and Safety Factor: The holding strength between the metal core and molded material is determined by the contact area. Graphs illustrate the relationship between core diameter and radial strength, as well as resistant thrust force. A safety factor of 4 to 5 is recommended, especially considering temperature variations.
Material and Design Considerations: The document highlights the benefits of using MC nylon fused to a metal core, such as wide temperature range tolerance, good dimensional stability, and improved appearance. It discusses the effects of temperature and humidity on plastic gears, recommending steel gears for mating to prevent heat generation and dilation.
Secondary Operations and Product Characteristics: Cautions are provided regarding secondary operations, which may weaken holding strength. The document advises on potential dimensional changes due to temperature and moisture, and the importance of lubrication when using plastic gears in pairs.
Ordering and Customization: Instructions for ordering J Series products are provided, including catalog numbers and specifications for bore sizes. The document notes that J Series products require a lead time for shipping and outlines the process for ordering quantities over 20 units.
Procedures and Recommendations: The document emphasizes the need to follow specific guidelines for safety concerns during secondary operations, which may weaken holding strength. It is recommended to mate plastic gears with steel gears to avoid heat generation and dilation.
Product Characteristics: Variations in temperature or humidity can affect plastic gears, causing changes in teeth diameter and backlash. Allowable torques are calculated based on assumed usage conditions. The document advises on the appearance of serration on the hub when the core O.D matches the hub diameter, noting it does not affect gear strength.
Data and Tables: The document includes tables listing various gear models with specifications such as the number of teeth, bore, hub diameter, pitch diameter, outside diameter, metal core diameter, allowable torque, and backlash. It also provides a chart for temperature compensation factors and discusses the relationship between radial strength and core diameter.
Additional Notes: The document describes the advantages of MC nylon fused to a metal core, including a wide temperature range, good dimensional stability, and improved appearance. It also details the ordering process for J Series products, noting lead times and keyway standards.
Caution on Secondary Operations:
  • Refer to specific guidelines for safety when modifying gears. KHK Quick-Mod Gears system is available for quick modifications.
  • Secondary operations may weaken holding strength, even if initially designed to be stronger than the teeth.
  • Plastic gears are sensitive to temperature and moisture, which can cause dimensional changes during and after machining.
Caution on Product Characteristics:
  • Temperature and humidity variations can affect plastic gears, causing changes in dimensions, teeth diameter, and backlash.
  • Allowable torques are calculated based on assumed usage conditions.
  • When core O.D matches hub diameter, serration may appear on the hub without affecting gear strength.
  • Plastic gears used in pairs without lubrication may generate heat and dilation; pairing with steel gears is recommended.
  • Backlash values are theoretical for identical gears in mesh.
MC Nylon and Metal Core Fusion:
  • MC nylon is fused to metal cores, offering advantages over bolting, shrink fitting, and bonding.
  • Benefits include a wide temperature range, good dimensional stability, and improved appearance.
Plastic Spur Gears with Steel Core:
  • The core material surface is treated with a diamond knurl and grooves before casting nylon.
Caution on J Series:
  • J Series products require a lead-time of two working days for shipping, excluding the order day.
  • Orders can range from 1 to 20 units; larger orders require a quote for price and lead time.
  • Keyways adhere to JIS B1301 standards with Js9 tolerance.
  • Products with long tapped holes may be counterbored to reduce tap length, and a set screw is included.

Please see Page 31 for more details. © When the core O.D is the same as the hub diameter, you may see some serration on the hub. There is no effect on the strength of the gear. ©Without lubrication, using plastic gears in pairs may generate heat and dilation. It is recommended to mate them with steel gears. ©The backlash values shown in the table are the theoretical values for the backlash in the normal direction of a pair of identical gears in mesh. [Caution on Secondary Operations] ©Please read "Caution on Performing Secondary Operations" (Page 32) when performing modifications and/or secondary operations for safety con cerns. KHK Quick-Mod Gears, the KHK's system for quick modification of KHK stock gears is also available. © Even though the holding strength at the material interface is designed to be stronger than the teeth, a secondary operation may weaken the holding strength. © Plastic gears are susceptible to the effects of temperature and moisture. Dimensional changes may occur while performing secondary operations and during post-machining operations. ■ Definition of Holding Strength and Safety Factor © The holding strength between the metal core and the molded material is a function of the contact area. The relationship between the core outside diameter and the radial strength (torque) is shown on the left, while the relationship between the core diameter and the resistant thrust force is shown on the right. [Caution on J series] © As available-on-request products, requires a lead-time for shipping within 2 working-days (excludes the day ordered), after placing an order. Please allow additional shipping time to get to your local distributor. © Number of products we can process for one order is 1 to 20 units. For quantities of 21 or more pieces, we need to quote price and lead time. © Keyways are made according to JIS B1301 standards, Js9 tolerance. © Certain products which would otherwise have a very long tapped hole are conterbored to reduce the length of the tap. © For products having a tapped hole, a set screw is included. © When the ambient temperature rises, obtain the temperature compensation factor, T, from the chart on the right. Also, use a safety factor of 4 to 5 in the calculation. Tal = Tmac X , ( . | X T Safety Factor Where Tal: Allowable Holding Strength at the contact surface Tmax: Maximum Holding Strength - Find from the charts on the left. T : Temperature Compensation Factor * Data supplied by Japan Polypenco Limited. ■ How is MC nylon fused to the metal core This method is superior to other conventional methods such as bolting, shrink fitting and bonding. © Outline of the procedure The surface of the core material is rolled with a 2mm pitch diamond knurl. Then one or more grooves (1 to 2mm wide and 1mm deep) are cut as shown below. The metal surface is treated prior to casting nylon in a mold. © Advantage of MC nylon with metal core 1. Wide temperature range. There are examples of wheel use in furnaces at 130 to 140° C. 2. Good dimensional stability Since nylon is fused to the whole outer surface of the metal hub, dimensional change is very small even under temperature variations. 3. Good appearance Elimination of bolts and nuts provides a cleaner physical appearance.
