Urethane spur gears have been used in many applications from toy cars to large equipment. The urethane spur gears are typically cast using compression style molding. Plan Tech’s precision made cast urethane spur gears are available in any profile, hardness or color for any requirements and functionality. Spur gears will also adapt for any mismatch and will operate with a reduced level of noise vs similar materials.
Spur gears also perform very well in high RMP applications with a long service life even when used outdoors with an operation temperature of -20 to 170F. Polyurethane spur gears are not affected by most chemicals and are non-conductive. Reverse engineering existing spur gears from worn out or discontinued parts is no problem for Plan Tech. For high strength designs, most spur gears will have a steel core often times with a keyway which we are able to produce the complete spur gear in-house with excellent lead times.
We can also reclaim worn our urethane spur gears if a core is present for often times less than the cost of OEM replacements. Our inspection dept will make sure every detail and requirement are met or exceeded for each order to ensure the highest level of quality to our customers. Tight tolerances are no problem for our state of the art machine shop dedicated to being able to machine complex urethane spur gears. We also have the ability to cast FDA approved urethane parts and urethane spur gears in high or low volume.
In addition to these state of the art technical capabilities, Plan Tech also has an outstanding team of dedicated employees with exceptional talents and industry leading expertise. We also are very proud of the “company we keep.” Our customers include many Fortune 500 companies, most of whom have been customers for 20+ years. Their drive to become industry leaders has helped us do the same.
