VICTREX HPGTM POLYMER GEARS - A VIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO METAL GEARS
In efforts of reducing system cost while improving performance, VICTREX HPG gears have been found to offer:
- Cost reduction potential for mass production due to the economical, one-step injection-molding manufacturing process of our PEEK gears
- Reduced part cost through eliminating secondary machining, hardening, or finishing operations while generating less scrap
- Reduced system cost through considerably reducing weight, inertia and system complexity.

POLYMER GEAR SOLUTIONS THAT GO BEYOND METAL PERFORMANCE
Compared to metal gears, VICTREX HPG™ polymers enable a range of performance benefits:
- Improved powertrain NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) performance - up to 50% (3 dB) reduction in powertrain NVH eliminates gear whine, while supporting driving comfort
- Lower energy consumption from a 70% weight reduction and improved responsiveness, with moment inertia reduced by 80%
- Reliable performance in aggressive environments with chemical and corrosion resistance, vibration isolating properties, low CoF
- Cost-Effectiveness
- Performance Benefits
- Processing Benefits
EFFICIENT AND FAST MANUFACTURING THAT HELPS ACCELERATE YOUR TIME TO THE MARKET
- Hybrid technology allows overmoulded inserts of metal, composites or other plastics
- Precise and repeatable manufacturing ensuring net shape components with tight tolerances.
- 100 % recyclable material and the environmentally-friendly one-step injection molding process vs a machined metal process that generates large amounts of scrap
Gear up for cost-effective NVH in automotive applications
VICTREX HPG gears offer cost-effective, durable NVH in engine and actuation gears with a 360° approach from gear design to mass production.
Designing the next generation of cobot gears
VICTREX HPG™ & thermoplastic hybrid gears offer an alternative to metal planetary system gearboxes. The high precision, tight tolerance and repeatability enables unconstrained cobot engineering design freedom.
