Gears
Automobile manufacturers are increasingly turning to plastics to help reduce weight, noise and costs. Today, plastics are being used to manufacture
- gear housings
- interior gears (comfort actuators)
- motor management gears (air and fuel management actuators)
- electric power steering gears
- oil pump gears
- replace metal gears in general
Stanyl® gears deliver better performance than metal
- Significant weight reductions
- Cost reductions of 30-50%, productivity increased and supply chain shortened
- Lower elastic modulus reduces transmission error
- Lower perceived noise during running
Stanyl adds new value to medium duty gears
- Gears with accuracy levels of DIN 8/AGMA 9, and power rating 1kW @ 8000 rpm running at 130°C in engine oil SAE 20W40, are more durable which can lead to more compact designs.
- Service life is doubled compared to PA66, higher safety factor, greater reliability
- At 130°C, Stanyl delivers up to 20% higher power rating than PA66 allowing for a reduction in face width.
- Torque rating maintained better over time than with PA66
- Pitch line velocities of 15 m/sec are achievable with Stanyl gears with PCD 38 mm at 8000 rpm

Stanyl continues to outperform in dry run conditions
- Better wear resistance than competitive materials
- Superior fatigue and creep resistance, for high load bearing transmission or positional gears
- Internally lubricated grades available for higher PV ratings and dry running
Stanyl is your optimal partner for performance gear designs
- Extensive in wear and friction experience, understanding of materials in gear applications
- Design and CAE support to optimize tooth profiles, tooling and molding
- Broad portfolio of materials suitable for gears
