Gears are used as drive elements in a huge range of applications, from
actuators to e-bikes to locking systems. When forces need to be transmitted around the corner, bevel gears are often used. Capable of transferring drive forces at a 90˚ angle, bevel gears have many industrial applications: they help adopt format adjustments in the food industry at a 90˚ angle, reject parcels in logistics, and make assembly lines more flexible and quickly adaptable in the automotive industry. The new gears have been developed for use with low and medium loads. “With iguform S270 and igutek P360, we have two materials that have already proven themselves in the gear market and are now also available as bevel gears,” said Robert Day, Gear specialist at igus UK. iguform S270 is characterised by a low coefficient of friction and low moisture absorption. Alternatively, bevel gears made of igutek P360 have very high wear
resistance and toughness, which makes the drive elements shock resistant. All bevel gears are available in six different gear ratios, plus seven
modules for power transmission. If the standard dimensions do not fit, igus can custom make almost any motion plastic product variant, with over 800 injection moulding machines and its own tool shop in Cologne. The company can produce customer-specific special parts cost-effectively as a series within a few weeks.
Traditional corrosion inhibitor additives can only protect the metal
surfaces in direct contact with the oil to which the inhibitor has been added. This leaves a large percentage of the system unprotected as, for example, gearboxes are often only half-filled. M-535 adds an extra dimension of protection in the form of Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors. These molecules vaporise out of the treated oil, diffusing throughout the headspace to form a protective molecular corrosion inhibiting layer on metal surfaces above the fluid level. This makes corrosion protection economical, efficient, and thorough. When it comes to turbines and other systems that use ashless oils, additional compatibility testing is essential. M-535 was designed specifically with the needs of ashless oils in mind and a heightened understanding of ashless performance requirements. It has successfully been formulated for use in turbines, as well as many general lubrication systems where ashless chemistry is not mandatory.
