Bevel gears for lubrication-free motion

Bevel gears transfer drive forces at a 90° angle. igus has now developed bevel gears made of two abrasion-resistant and durable high-performance plastics – iguform S270 and igutek P360 – especially suitable for simple applications. The gears are lightweight and cost-effective, and completely free of external lubrication, reducing maintenance time and costs.

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. Bevel gears made of these tribologically optimized plastics are popular with users because they are inexpensive, lightweight and, unlike metallic bevel gears, do not require external lubricants. This reduces maintenance intervals on machines and systems and increases hygiene and cleanliness.
