Plastic gearing has been increasing in usage as designers better understand their benefits and limitations. These gears can be produced by hobbing or stamping or, for large-volume runs, by induction molding. Some of the key benefits of plastics in the production of gearing are: Reduced weight and lower inertia due to the lower density of the material Ability to absorb shock and vibration due to the elasticity of the material…. opener”>Read more> Plastic Gears Are the Future
