Replacement 3D gears for an e-bike - Increased performance with tribologically optimised materials

  • What was needed: new gears for a planetary gearbox for an electric bicycle
  • Manufacturing process: selective laser sintering
  • Requirements: Accuracy of detail, accuracy of fit, abrasion resistance
  • Material: iglidur ® i3
  • Industry: Bicycle industry
  • Success through collaboration: 30 times better abrasion resistance than conventional SLS materials, high wear resistance, higher efficiency
The e-bike is now working perfectly again with the replacement gears

Problem

Solution

Quick prototype - better effect

After a few tests, the correct dimensions for the replacement gears were found

Especially for gear and co. - iglidur® i3 and iglidur® i6

The good mechanical properties of iglidur i3 are used in the planetary gearbox
