Metal gears by default? That assumption is getting expensive in modern actuators
Metal gears deliver strength, but in modern actuators they often add unnecessary weight, inertia, noise, and cost. For many applications, high-performance plastics can meet requirements while improving efficiency, NVH, and system cost. Stanyl® PA46 pushes those limits further, offering metal-like performance where standard plastics fall short, at a lower weight and more competitive cost.

How to reduce the risk of stress cracks in PBT-overmolded metal parts
Metal and PBT are ideal partners in overmolded metal conductors, such as those found in the powertrains of electric vehicles. However, for engineers frequent and abrupt temperature changes put this “material marriage” to the test. Stress cracks can form, leading to defects in entire assemblies. PBTs with high elongation at break, hydrolysis resistance, and heat resistance from our Pocan® XHR range enable you to minimize this risk. This is demonstrated by the mounting frame for a clutch transmission.
