This was great for strength and performance, but the
yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and
was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to-
plastic conversion.

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations
For Conveyor Belt Gears
With high strength and durability, metal has been a
reliable material for machinery parts for centuries,
however, more commonly traditional materials
are being replaced by plastic alternatives that offer
performance, cost and sustainability benefits.
With only one machine required for
production of a plastic gear, these formulations can
reduce manufacturing steps, processing time and
material costs.
