Plastic & metal gears
Lubricate tooth contacts and assess starting, stopping and reversing motion.
- Evaluation focus
- Gear materials, load, temperature, noise, wear and dose.
SPECIALTY LUBRICANTS
Quiet lubrication for plastic gears, plastic-to-metal interfaces, office equipment, automotive interiors and precision mechanisms. Review materials, starting torque, noise, oil separation and dose.

APPLICATION & SELECTION
Application examples for evaluation on actual parts. Match operating conditions with the exact-grade documentation.

Lubricate tooth contacts and assess starting, stopping and reversing motion.

Review rolling/sliding contacts, seals and continuous-duty conditions.

Review rails, sliders and polymer-to-metal contact surfaces.

Review the multiple meshes between sun, planet and ring gears.

Review flexspline, circular-spline and wave-generator interfaces.

Review plastic gears and supporting interfaces in compact office-equipment drives.
SELECTION POINTS
Share the component and operating conditions so we can identify a suitable grade.
Discuss your requirementsLoad, speed and actual operating temperature
Plastic / elastomer compatibility and application location
Dose, oil separation, friction and noise
Confirm composition, temperature range, viscosity or consistency, material compatibility and required registrations for the exact grade.
NEXT STEP
Confirm composition, properties and supply arrangements in current documents for the exact grade.
