[Kibbs Case] Gear for Reduced Metal Wear

A kibbs composed of UHMWPE and over 50% lubricant! It provides better sliding properties on contact surfaces. *Exhibited at the trade show.

We would like to introduce a case where a major robot manufacturer adopted our product for mass production. They faced the challenge of wanting to apply lubricating components to the teeth of gears to reduce metal wear, and they were testing with polyacetal (POM) and oil-containing resins. However, the results were not very effective, leading them to request our assistance. After several changes to the oil-containing components and shapes, and through trial and error, we successfully created gears using Kibbs. 【Case Overview】 ■ Major Robot Manufacturer ■ Challenge: To apply lubricating components to the teeth of gears to reduce metal wear ■ Result of trial and error: Gears made with Kibbs - The adopted robot operates for several years without maintenance - The shaft center has a mechanism that allows lubricating oil to seep out from the inside *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *We will be exhibiting the actual video at Intermold 2022 (April 20-23). Please stop by; we will provide an explanation. Booth number 5-311-33
