Weak power transmission components can spell doom for an otherwise well-designed motion system. Yet many engineers fail to account for various environmental exposures — like moisture uptake — which can cause many traditional engineered polymers to lose up to 50 percent of their tensile strength. At iNTECH, we design our way around the problems associated with moisture and other environmental conditions by choosing the right type of polymer. PowerCore stands out based on a unique balance of:   - Physical properties - Cost Thriving in Harsh Environments Eliminating Internal Stresses Chemically Resistant an Contamination-Free Thriving in Harsh Environments ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Stability in humidity or under total-immersion conditions. Most high-performance polymers absorb moisture, causing them to lose tensile strength and swell. Power transmission components made from these hygroscopic polymers end up too weak to carry the loads they were designed for and too swollen to work with mating parts. On the other hand: - Our gears and track rollers are well-suited for power transmission applications involving washdown, outdoor exposure and other harsh conditions. - The gears integrate our dimensionally stable PowerCore polymer that doesn’t absorb moisture, while their metal core offers high torque transmission. - Our components exhibit excellent vibration damping characteristics, which contribute to their ability to reduce noise and absorb shock loads. Eliminating Internal Stresses ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Gravity casted PowerCore polymer We gravity cast our PowerCore polymer over metal hubs or thermally install it over roller bearings to produce our cam followers, track rollers and gears. We then precision machine these blanks to form the finished component. This process offers several advantages: - Minimized internal stress state that gives our polymer an inherently uniform crystalline structure. - PowerCore gears and components have consistent machining resistance, improving overall machining precision. - Under external load, the crystalline structure avoids the stress-induced cracks or swelling that causes molded plastic power transmission components to fail prematurely. Chemically Resistant an Contamination-Free ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Enable long operational use over several industries. Our PowerCore gears and track rollers can withstand temperature swings and chemicals, enabling these components to offer long, contamination-free operation in power transmission applications in the medical, electronics and machine tool industries. - Our power transmission components successfully resist chemical degradation. - They require no lubrication, eliminating the wear mechanism that generates particulates. - Our cam followers are available with sealed, stainless steel bearings and cleanroom-approved lubricants. ## Find the ideal PowerCore components for your application.
