Intech's Power-Core™ polymer gears are at the forefront of this revolution, offering a unique combination of strength, durability, and efficiency. Explore the unmatched performance of these gears in precision applications and learn how they outperform traditional metal gears in mission-critical systems.

What Clients Say About Intech:

“ Intech was very supportive on the front end of the design. They helped with the design of the components, which a semi-custom design based on their iCam® Followers. Intech knows the material specifications and their own manufacturing capabilities and worked closely with us to create the right part for the application ”

Mitch Blalock | Manager of Positioning Products for ViaSat

“ The reason the Intech roller was implemented was because it provided a very smooth rolling surface, and offers lubrication-free operation, which is necessary in such a clean environment. More importantly, though, is the roller’s aversion to taking a compression set. Further, through life testing the roller was found not to show wear for extend life cycles ”

Gear and Roller Life Calculations

Beyond The Life of The Service Contract

PowerCore gears and track rollers are precision machined and won’t wear out expensive mating components, improving service life and lowering your operating costs.


  • Polymer Gears are machined up to AGMA 11 standards—and they remain that way thanks to the polymer material’s dimensional stability and our extensive design considerations. 
  • Self lubricating components don’t suffer the galling and pitting common to metal components – many of our customers have seen as little as 0.1%-dimensional change after the entire service cycle of our components. 
  • Inexpensive Track rollers shouldn’t be responsible for expensive service calls. Ideal for critical applications where wear, lubrication, and maintenance aren’t option

Track rollers and cam followers that elevate speed and reliability in mission-critical systems

In mission-critical motion applications, success hinges on maximizing uptime by minimizing wear and maintenance.  Critical motion components must balance high product quality and runtime while minimizing maintenance needs and uncertainty.

Intech track rollers, gears, cam followers, and trolley systems possess the ideal combination of features. 

 

Strong and Lightweight Power-Core™

  • High crystallinity enables it to handle high mechanical loads.
  • Seven times lighter than metal, it benefits high-speed applications where inertia mismatches impact performance.
  • Exhibits superior mechanical properties to comparable polymer alternatives.

Lower Environmental Impact 

  • Self-lubricating polymer parts eliminate the need for external lubrication.
  • Cam followers prevent metal-on-metal contact, reducing wear, galling, and material waste.

Maximized Speed and Efficiency P

  • Self-lubricating plastic and high-speed ball bearings, eliminating resistance from viscous drag common in legacy cam followers. 
  • Speeds up to seven times higher than grease-lubricated needle bearings

Clean, Quiet, Headache Free

Self-lubrication minimized potential contamination

Our self-lubricated polymer components eliminate two potential sources of contamination: stray lubricant and particulate from metal-on-metal contact. For this reason, our gears, cam followers and guide rollers are an ideal choice for medical and cleanroom applications.

  • Clean Motion for Clean Images – iNTECH’s superior gearing and guide rollers produce consistently better image quality for the life of the applications. 
  • Maximizing sterility in patient facing environments. iNTECH components are self-lubricating, eliminating grease and metal dust contamination.
