Material Selection Guide


High-temperature environments (>80°C): Nylon PA66 (withstands stable operation at 120°C).


Precision transmission (e.g., robots): POM (low friction, dimensional tolerance ±0.05 mm).


Highly corrosive environments (acids and alkalis): UHMW-PE (withstands extreme conditions with pH 1-14).

FAQ

 

Q: In high-load situations may plastic timing pulleys replace metal pulleys?

A: It relies on the context. One must choose the content exactly. For instance, 30% glass fiber reinforced nylon PA66 reduces weight by 50% while nonetheless bearing 80% of the load of a metal pulley. We support a "plastic wheel body + metal hub" design under highly load conditions.

Q: Custom plastic synchronous pulleys have a minimum order quantity of what?

A: There are five pieces minimum order quantity; samples are ready in one to two weeks. One week is plenty to sample rush orders.

Q: Are you in favor of customized tooth profiles (such as HTD, AT5)?

A: Completely sponsored! Customizing is possible for HTD, AT5, S2M, or other tooth profiles as well as for unique dimensions.
