Lubrication-Free Strength
When nylon teeth mesh with metal teeth, there is virtually no wear and tear on either material, and the friction is so reduced that oil lubrication becomes unnecessary. Pairing such a nylon gear with a steel core produces a lasting component with great strength.
Introducing NylaSteel—a proprietary composite that locks a perimeter of nylon around a steel hub, making it strong enough to serve as a drive component. When properly placed within an application, the result is a gear system vastly cleaner and longer-lasting than a conventional metal-on-metal design.
