Abstract:The fatigue-life diagrams of injection-molded nylon 6 gears with different reinforcements are presented for various lubrication modes (dry, grease, splash oil lubrication) and for different meshing combinations (plastic/plastic and steel/plastic gears).
Tests have been carried out with a properly designed back-to-back rig; results are compared with previous experiments, performed with unreinforced nylon 6 gears. Tested gears have been 232 (70 in unreinforced nylon and 162 in differently filled p… Show more
