Plastic gears have revolutionized many industries, offering unique advantages over their metal counterparts. These components are lightweight, self-lubricating, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. At TSE Industries, we’ve harnessed the power of CNC machining to create high-precision plastic gears that meet the most demanding specifications.

The Advantages of Plastic Gears

UHMW gear

Plastic gears offer several benefits that make them an attractive option for many applications.

  • Weight reduction: Plastic gears are significantly lighter than metal gears, reducing overall machine weight and energy consumption.
  • Noise reduction: The inherent properties of plastics help dampen vibrations, resulting in quieter operation.
  • Corrosion resistance: Unlike metal gears, plastic gears don’t rust or corrode, making them ideal for harsh environments.
  • Self-lubrication: Many engineering plastics have self-lubricating properties, reducing maintenance requirements.
