Purpose: This paper reviews the factors affecting shrinkage of molded parts in injection
molding. Methods: A selective screening of the papers published in the last 10 years was …

There is a need to correctly dimension gears for an application with an understanding of
how the gear will deteriorate until final failure. However, this task has been difficult because …

This paper was aimed at finding out the solution to the problem of insufficient dimensional
accuracy caused by non-linear shrinkage deformation during injection molding of small …

In many applications, metal gears have been replaced by plastic gears because of their
functionality and cost advantages. Despite their many benefits, the intensive use of plastics …

Shrinkage voids have a large influence on the quality of plastic gears, and it is still a problem
to detect the voids inside gears accurately and conveniently. This paper presents a novel …

Polymer gears (PGs) are increasingly replacing metal gears due to their benefits, such as
reduced noise and vibration and no need for lubrication. However, they can suffer from heat …

This study focuses on the analysis of plastic injection moulding process simulation using
Autodesk Moldflow Insight (AMI) software in order to minimize shrinkage by optimizing the …

Polyamide (PA6) polymer gear tremendously expanded its usage in power transmission
applications. PA6 gear were engaged with different combinations of gear pairs (STEEL …

The full potential of plastic gear usage is limited by not only poor mechanical properties but
also equally poor temperature limits and poor heat conduction properties. Cooling holes …

Two-dimensional Finite Element Analysis is frequently utilized to determine the behaviour of
gear contact stress due to its computational time and higher efficiency. Based on the gear …
