GuidePOM Material Selection for Molded PartsStart with wear, cracking or deformation to shortlist lubricated, toughened or reinforced POM grades.GuideWear / Low-Friction POM GuideSeparate starting resistance from long-term wear and select PTFE, MoS₂, silicone-oil or aramid-modified POM for the contact pair.GuidePOM Gear Material SelectionHow do tooth wear, root fatigue and creep affect POM selection? Use listed grades and the gear case to define what to validate.GuidePA6 vs PA66 Selection GuideCompare EAG130 and EAG230 GF30 to separate matrix, moisture-state and temperature effects on stiffness and dimensions.GuideReinforced PA6 / PA66 GuideCompare PA6 and PA66 at equal glass content, then adjust stiffness along the catalog ladder while controlling orientation-driven warpage and assembly toughness.GuidePPA vs PA66 Selection GuideWhen PA66 misses hot-stiffness or moisture-related dimensional targets, use EAG230/EAG630H GF30 data to focus PPA comparison and molding trials.GuideConductive PA6 / PA66 / PPA GuideStart with resistance targets and grounding to choose CNT or carbon-fiber formulations and define electrical checks on molded parts.Technical noteApplication NotesTurn failure modes into selection criteria: fatigue and wear for gears, starting force and sealing for spools, stiffness and creep for supports.GuideReinforcement Materials OverviewChoose glass fiber for a stiffness gap or assess carbon fiber for conductivity, while accounting for orientation, warpage and mating-part wear.
