Gears and Racks Made of Polyamid

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document is a technical catalogue for polyamide gears and racks, published by Otto Ganter GmbH & Co. KG in September 2022. It provides specifications, technical instructions, and applications for these standard parts, superseding all previous versions.
General Notes
Gears facilitate the transfer of rotary motion between shafts with a positive locking mechanism, allowing for speed and torque adjustments. The document highlights the significance of tooth shape, size, and geometry, standardized by module value and pressure angle.
Technical Instructions
Formulas for designing spur gears are provided, including calculations for module, pitch, and tooth count. Compatibility requires matching gears with the same module and pressure angle.
Material-Specific Advantages
Polyamide gears offer benefits such as weight and noise reduction, low friction, high corrosion resistance, and higher torque transmission, suitable for applications like packaging machines and household appliances.
Lubrication and Maintenance
Polyamide gears can operate without lubrication, but lithium-saponified grease is recommended if needed. When pairing with metal gears, the metal should be the smaller gear to distribute wear evenly.
Hub Machining
Guidelines for machining bores or keyways in plastic gears emphasize precise clamping and appropriate cutting parameters.
Torque Specifications
Torque values are determined through theoretical calculations and laboratory tests, considering speed, temperature, and material pairing.
Spur Gears GN 7802
These polyamide gears reduce weight and noise while offering high corrosion resistance, designed with a 20° pressure angle and available in various modules and tooth counts.

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamid-3

Gears and Racks General Notes Gears Gears transfer a rotary motion from a driving shaft to a driven shaft via a positive locking. Depending on the ratio of the number of teeth of the gears used, the speed and the torque may be retained, decreased or increased. This is called the gear ratio, where the driven gear is put into relation with the driving gear. The reverse relationship applies to the resulting speeds. See the equations below. Due to the positive locking between the gear pairs, the rotational movement is transmitted precisely and without slippage. A pairing of two or more combined gears...

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamid-5

Gears and Racks Technical Instructions Tooth Profile The spur gears GN 7802 have involute toothing with a pressure angle of 20°. Only gears with the same module and pressure angle can be paired with each other. The following relationship applies to the involute toothing: Involute Toothing The tooth flanks of the gears are shaped as involutes. The tangent that is perpendicular to the line of action runs through the contact point between the two tooth flanks (involutes). The line of action is at a 20° angle to the pitch line of engagement. The pitch point is located on the line of engagement at...

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamid-6

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamide, Technical Instructions Material-specific Advantages The gears GN 7802 are made of polyamide and offer the following material-specific advantages: -- eight reduction compared with metal gears W -- Noise reduction -- Low coefficient of friction, meaning that lubrication is not absolutely required -- High corrosion resistance -- Higher torque transmission compared with other plastics, such as polyacetal (POM) / polyketone (PK) In addition, gears of steel are frequently overdimensioned for their application. In such cases, polyamide gears are a cost-effective alternative....

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamid-7

Gears and Racks Made of Polyamide, Technical Instructions Hub Machining of Plastic Gears The following points must be observed when making a bore or keyway: -- The clamping jaws used must be precisely matched to the addendum circle of the gear. -- The clamping surface must be as wide as possible. For module 3, for example, it is necessary to clamp at least 3 - 4 teeth and for module 1 at least 7 teeth. -- Cutting parameters and forward feed rates suitable for polyamide must be selected based on the machining method. Cooling or lubrication must be used during machining, if necessary. Torque The...
