Gear Material From Intech

Intech Power-Core is a hybrid composite gear material that wraps around a sturdy metal core. The hybrid gear design features a sturdy metal that is gravity-cast directly onto a rugged, knurled metal core. The gear material is engineered to offer high performance tensile and flexural properties over a range of operating conditions. Gear teeth are hobbed into the outer plastic portion of the gear material. A bore directly machined into the metal core secures the shaft connection that enables the designer to attach the composite gear using traditional metal gear methods. A gear blank is mounted directly onto an arbor of the bobbing machine and enables the cut of a precision bore into the metal, serving as a reference point for the gear's critical dimensions.
