The plastic material used for this gear provides several advantages, including

Lightweight: They are lighter than metal gears, making them suitable for applications where weight reduction is important.

Corrosion Resistance: They are less prone to corrosion, making them suitable for use in environments with moisture or chemicals.

Low Noise: They tend to generate less noise compared to metal gears, which can be beneficial for noise-sensitive applications.

Self-Lubricating: Some plastic materials have self-lubricating properties, reducing the need for additional lubrication.

Compact and Lightweight plastic gears: Perfect for Miniature Applications

Lower Load Capacity: These gears generally have lower load-carrying capacity compared to metal gears, making them suitable for light to moderate loads.

Limited High-Speed Capability:They may not be ideal for high-speed applications due to potential wear and deformation at elevated RPMs.

Temperature Sensitivity: Plastic materials can be sensitive to high temperatures, so they may not be suitable for applications involving excessive heat. The gear's 10, 12, and 16 teeth allow for smooth and consistent power transmission, and the central hole with a diameter of 3mm enables easy mounting on a shaft or axle with a 2mm diameter. Overall, this plastic spur gear with 12 teeth and a 2mm shaft is well-suited for light to moderate-load applications that require low noise and corrosion resistance.
