Sterile and Non-Contaminating Highly Performant Smooth and Quiet Sterile and Non-Contaminating ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Ideal for Sterile Environments Our PowerCore components don’t require lubrication and — unlike metal components — won’t contaminate products with shavings, making them ideal for: - Medical devices and medical device manufacturing - Food processing - Pharmaceutical plants - And other products and processes that require sterility Highly Performant ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Long-Lasting, Durable and Self-Lubricating iNTECH’s PowerCore rollers, cams, gears and other components are robust, even under extreme loads, temperatures and moisture levels. - 50% higher e-modulus, compressive strength and flexural strength from 50°F to 250°F compared to other polyamides. - Absorbs a maximum of 1.4% water when fully submerged. - Resists stress for 1,000 hours at 2,300 PSI. Smooth and Quiet ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/post05-1-1.jpg) ### Reduce System Vibration In applications that need to run with minimal vibration and noise, PowerCore is the material of choice: - 10dB quieter than metal counterparts - Highly precise roundness specifications, with less than +/-0.001 inch runout on PowerCore cam followers with a 1.5-inch outside diameter ## Find the ideal PowerCore components for your application.

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.” | Engineer, PerkinElmer Automation “Intech’s PowerCore pinions and cam followers took care of two of the major problems with our rack and pinion system at once: the PowerCore components virtually eliminated the problem of friction, which was a defining factor in the reduction of noise in the system, reducing it by half, their ability to customize to our needs was essential, we had the design finished in less than 24 hours.” | Automation Engineering KLEENLine [Power-Core gears](https://www.intechpower.com/blog-old/topic/power-core-gears) ** 20 minute read | December 27, 2022 ## [The difference between injection molded plastic gears and machined plastic gears](https://www.intechpower.com/blog/blog/the-difference-between-injection-molded-plastic-gears-and-machined-plastic-gears) The Difference between Injection Molded Plastic Gears and Machined Plastic Gears {% module_block module...
