Gears can be found everywhere: from cars to kitchen appliances and clocks. Traditionally, gears in demanding applications are made from metal, but there is an increasing demand for plastic gears. At DSM, we actively seek to partner with customers across the value chain to improve their gears and actuators. Our portfolio includes a wide offer of grades that maintain their strength, durability and wear rates at extreme operating temperatures, while extending part lifetime.
In DSM's state-of-the-art materials science centers, we place strong emphasis on understanding both the theoretical and practical relationship between an application and a material’s wear and friction properties. In this video, learn about the various gear test methods we use to better simulate actual conditions.
In this video, Martin Wolffs, product manager at DSM, explains the benefits of using high-performance polyamides in gear applications, and why the tooth temperature of a gear is a key property for choosing the right gear material.
Stanyl® TW200F6 is a high heat polyamide that offers excellent creep resistance, strength, stiffness and fatigue resistance, not only at ambient temperatures but especially at high temperatures, while at the same time providing cycle-time advantages and excellent flow.

Over the last 30 years, Stanyl (PA46) has become a household name in the industry because of the unique benefits it brings our customers in a wide range of applications, from cooking utensils used in hot boiling oil to challenging automotive applications. This year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Stanyl.
Finding the right balance in between manterial requirements has caused many manufacturers to avoid secondary processing steps such as annealing. However, annealing can result in a significant improvement on a part’s performance, and in this blog we’d like to dive a little deeper into the annealing process, its benefits and attention points.
