Different teeth profile shapes of polymer gears and comparison of their performance
This article presents a lifespan testing analysis of polymer gears manufactured by cutting. Compared to injection molding, machine cutting provides higher accuracy of gear geometry. Two different tooth flank geometries were tested; i.e.

An investigation of misalignment effects on the performance of acetal gears [PDF]
This paper concentrates on the effects of misalignment on meshing behaviour of acetal gears as hardly any misalignment investigations on polymer gears in the existing literatures. The experimental results show that the wear of acetal gears is insensitive

Analysis of Transient Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Asymmetric Polymer Gear
Polymer gears are light and corrosion resistant, which can reduce noise and improve economic benefits. Correspondingly, polymer gear teeth are weaker than metal ones, so asymmetric design is adopted to improve the strength of polymer gear.

Active colloids in complex fluids [PDF]
We review recent work on active colloids or swimmers, such as self-propelled microorganisms, phoretic colloidal particles, and artificial micro-robotic systems, moving in fluid-like environments. These environments can be water-like and Newtonian but can

Investigation of the Durability and Performance of Gears Made of Glass Fiber, Carbon and Bronze-Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene Matrix Composite Material [PDF]
Polymer gears are often used in power transmission due to their numerous advantages. Heat accumulates on polymer gears during operation. Over time, this accumulated heat leads to damage; and shortens the service life of the gears.

Effect of friction on the contact stress of a coated polymer gear
Polymer gears are used extensively in various applications. However, durability issues have been emerging because of friction at gear tooth contact areas. To extend the lifetime of polymer gears, a low-frictional coating has been considered as a possible
