Lightweight plastic gearboxes developed to order
Parvalux EMD supplies products to several major international designers of powered golf buggies, caddies and carts with bespoke DC permanent-magnet power transmission units; in many cases the company is asked to develop lightweight plastic gearboxes to enable greater portability of the product into and out of vehicles and storage facilities.
But less weight is not the only advantage of using modern plastics for geared motors. Price, development time and design aesthetics also play a significant part in the selection of the gearbox material.
While Parvalux has a wealth of experience in developing plastic gearboxes for the golf sector, the know-how can be applied equally well to numerous other applications where weight, price, aesthetics and development time are important considerations.
