This article describes a new numerical approach to determine the temperature field of
polymer spur gears during their operation. The approach is based on an uncoupled …

Polymer gears are used in many devices due to their advantages, among other, dry-running
possibilities. As part of their design, the life-time predictions for fatigue and wear are among …

A comprehensive experimental investigation of the wear behaviour of coated spur polymer
gears made of POM is performed in this study. Three different thicknesses of aluminium (Al) …

This article describes an investigation that has been conducted to assess the effects of the
contact pattern design on the mechanical and thermal behaviors of plastic-steel helical gear …

The application of polymer gears in power transmission has been considered recently due
to their advantages over metal gears, eg, lighter weights and lower costs. Much further …

Tribology is an unfamiliar term for many, but is experienced by all. It is the science of friction,
wear and lubrication of contacting surfaces in relative motion. The aim of this book is to …

The importance of polymer gears is increasing continuously since its advent in 1950s and
developing at a very fast pace due to some of its advantage over metallic gears like light …

Polymer gears are increasingly popular for a variety of applications due to their improved
performance, light weight, ease of manufacture and low cost. However, the design of …
