Meldin® gears and gerotors provide high strength for torque transmission, while contributing very low friction and low wear for improved efficiency and long life. When used as a solution to replace metal or stainless steel, the Meldin gears and gerotors offer substantial weight savings and the possibility to run with very limited lubrication and, in some cases, no lubrication at all.
Meldin® Gear Benefits
- Cost savings for gears that can be 100% finished in injection molded
- Weight and space savings
- Lubrication free
- Long wear life
- Noise reduction
- Broad chemical compatibility
Meldin® Gerotor Benefits
- Weight savings is 20% the weight of powdered metal (PM) gerotor elements
- Vibration dampening properties -- longer life
- Greater ability than PM to withstand shock loads
- Increase in engine horsepower just with a drop-in replacement
- Gerotors made of Meldin can better tolerate the presence of foreign particles than PM parts
Today we have different solutions to offer in order to reach the level of precision and quality required by an application: Meldin® gears and gerotors can be either directly injection molded to the finished shape or first injection molded and then machined.
Our “gear and gerotor solutions” have been approved for many applications in different markets, to name a few:
- business machines
- cooling pumps
- appliances
- automotive
- motorsports
We can also produce gears and gerotors in other materials as well, such as PEEK, PPS, and PA.
