igus gear configurator: Easy configuration of gears in 60 seconds

By July 8, 2019 4:04 pm IST

It is often difficult to design gears without assistance, because of the complex geometry. However, among the decisive criteria for a long-lasting gear is not only the design, but also the selection of the right material and the appropriate manufacturing process. igus addresses exactly these topics and present the gear configurator for the iglidur high-performance plastics for the laser sintering process and the igus 3D printing service.

“How do I design a gear? What is the procedure to make it? And what material is best suited for which type of gear application? Why you should print gears instead of machining them?” Tom Krause, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus, gives tips on how to make wear-resistant gears quickly. Answer to all questions is igus gear configurator. This ensures easy configuration of gears in 60 seconds. For this, the user only has to enter the data of his gear, such as tooth module, number of teeth, width and inner diameter. Igus also has introduced a special high-performance plastic, “The laser sintering material iglidur I6 which is specifically developed for worm gears, it was and was able to demonstrate its very high wear resistance and durability in the laboratory,”explains Tom Krause.

The right manufacturing process ensures a long-lasting component
“Gears are much easier and more cost-effective to produce in 3D printing than in machining production,” explains Tom Krause. “In additive manufacturing, we can also produce optimal tooth geometries, which are very expensive to implement by machining”. The way to the wear-resistant gear is therefore via the igus 3D printing service.
