I see many transmissions in lawn equipment with broke plastic gears or/and housings. Plastic is not hard as metal and it flows long term you better make everything thicker with enough time tested engineering before we can accept this new tech. Too many things today don't last long!
Thank you for your feedback! At igus, we understand the concerns about durability in plastics, especially when compared to traditional metal parts. However, we specialize in engineering high-performance plastics specifically designed for wear resistance and longevity. Our materials are not ordinary plastics; they’re proprietary blends that are rigorously tested to handle demanding conditions, like those found in lawn and grounds maintenance equipment. We also have one of the largest test labs in the industry, where we simulate real-world conditions to ensure our products meet stringent performance standards. On top of that, we offer lifetime calculators that allow customers to predict the durability of our components in their specific applications. Feel free to check out our work in the grounds maintenance industry: www.igus.com/industries/grounds-maintenance. Let us know if you're interested in speaking with a Grounds Maintenance Expert!
