The Ideal Material for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Metal particulates, outgassing and other contaminants released by greases and metal-on-metal wear aren’t acceptable in the vacuum environments common to semiconductor manufacturing. Rely on our PowerCore gears and guide rollers (with optional ceramic bearings) and never lose a batch again.

• PowerCore’s highly crystalline structure withstands continuous exposure to numerous chemicals, including silicon vapors.
• Our unique plastic-on-metal design allows for superior torque transmission and shaft attachment from a metal hub, while retaining the gear mesh of polymer teeth.
• iNTECH’s components are NASA-certified to not outgas.

Semiconductor manufacturing needs to be consistent and smooth in order to avoid defective batches and excess wear. That’s why our engineers have developed several tooth mesh modifications for reducing or eliminating backlash that capitalize on the PowerCore polymer’s elastic properties.

• Cast in aluminum or stainless steel core for secure attachment and consistent center distances.
• Gain a 50% reduction in the thermal expansion of the plastic portion of the gears with our expertly designed cast-in-core process
  
• PowerCore remains wear resistant and dimensionally stable under varying process conditions, contributing to backlash-free rotation in semiconductor applications
