KISSsoft Offers Plastics for the Calculation for Cylindrical and Crossed Axis Helical Gears

From opening the sunroof in your car, pumping insulin in a medical device, aligning solar panels in a satellite to moving toy cars, plastic gears are widely used in small gearboxes. In many cases, plastic materials can provide a good alternative to steel because of its low weight, good damping properties and lower cost for serial production.

Characterization of the Gear Meshing Damping of Gear Drives with Plastic Gears Using the Forced Response Analysis for NVH Prediction

It is well-known that plastic materials have higher damping values than steel. So, the main question discussed in this paper is, how noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) are influenced by the presence of different viscous gear meshing damping. Here, some guidelines are presented to adjust the gear meshing damping for achieving the NVH characteristics of a powertrain system.
