Installation and Maintenance for Nylon Gears


Whether you are talking about nylon hobby gears or plastic gears, you can replace gears in all kinds of machines. A major reason for using a nylon gear product is to reduce maintenance. Often a plastic gear will not need as much lubrication as a metal counterpart. Two metal gears meshing together can wear faster than a metal gear on a plastic gear. A plastic component will provide a measure of safety by failing when other parts of a machine cause too much friction. Premature wear of the nylon gear indicates that other problems exist whereas two metal gears may continue to run until the other problems cause a much more costly failure.

You can find help with installation and maintenance for nylon gears, as well as plenty of places to buy a nylon gear, from online sources. If your project calls for plastic gears, hobby shops are happy to help you out. A variety of objects that use replacement plastic hobby gears include the following:

1. Radio-controlled model airplanes and helicopters use gears in the motor.
