Abstract

ABSTRACT Gears are known to be useful in rotating motion transfer or power transmission from small product to larger, used everywhere. It was initially metallic foundation but now the polymeric material gear of a day is quite useful for purposes of small power transmission. High-strength polymer currently synthesises therefore very accurately in applications, so plastic gears replace metal gears particularly in low-powered applications. The replacement of metal gears by plastic gears continues in automobiles appliances and machinery due to its low noise, low wear, self-lubrication, economically, low weight, simple design and manufacturing merits. This paper deals with the effectiveness of using hybrid epoxy composites while designing spur gears. The epoxy’s ability to absorb water is much less than nylon. Here hybrid composites are created by mixing different SiO2 weight percentage and two layers of glass fibre simultaneously.
