INTECH Power-CoreTM (PA12G) shapes are made from laurinlactam resin and are available in a wide variety of sizes of rods, tubes, rods with cast-in metal cores, and plates. Machined into parts, Power-Core delivers high performance which provides a unique combination of the physical properties of plastics, metal and ceramics, securing Power-Core's Domain among polyamids.
Machining cost can be cut significantly with prefabricated, gravity cast, custom shapes.
Rods with cast-in metal cores, are especially preferred in maintenance. Gears machined from this stock can transmit torque previously achieved only with metal gears. The knurled shape of the metal core guarantees a molecular and mechanical bond between metal and PA12G, allowing the transmission of the full torque found on the keyway, machined into the metal core.
INTECH Power-Core gears and rollers offer several advantages over metal and other nylon components:
Nylon
- higher torque transmission
- longer life due to low water absorption
Metal
- weight reduction
- noise reduction
- self-lubricating
- shock absorbent
- non-corrosive
- no need for hardening or grinding
- replaces bronze in worm gear applications
