Our phenolic gears are manufactured from fabric laminations impregnated with phenolics under extremely high temperature and pressure. The end result is a material that enables the manufacturing of gears which exhibit superior shear force vs torque distribution properties.
Phenolic gears, similar to other non-metallic gears, will absorb of destructive vibrations inherent to metal gear trains and also operate at a very low noise levels.
Phenolic gears are also non-conductive and are known to outlast metal gears under severe continuous service.
