Arnitel® noise dampening solutions for quality consumer electronics :

Low noise gear trains

Arnitel® provides the high quality and reliability together with lowest cost for noise reduction

Elastomeric properties dampen vibrations in the plastic gear cascade
Different hardness surface compared to commonly used acetal gears in rest of drive train, reduces noise generation and improves wear and friction properties on both surfaces
Good dimensional stability with a high modulus.
High crystallization rate
- reduced cycle times
- lower level of flash, fewer rejects as flash leads to noise generation and reject parts
- excellent shape integrity and surface replication – parts come out of mold with intended profile
- no deformation after molding, preserves design shape better during handling prior to assembly, contributing to maintenance of low noise characteristics

Arnitel® is the ideal alternative to PA11 or PA12 solutions in drive trains

providing more noise dampening
and lower cost solutions
