Power-Core out performs all other polyamid and Acetal based plastics (eg. Nylons and delrins) due to its unique, tension-free, homogeneously crystalline structure, achieved through a unique casting process.

INTECH Power-Core^TM (PA12GC) 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 polyamides.

Gear 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 PA12GC, allowing the transmission of the full torque found on the keyway, machined into the metal core.

INTECH Power-Core non-metallic 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
