Research Abstract |
This research was performed to comparison the accuracy and the dynamic performance a gear made from bamboo and POM (polyacetal). At first, cylindrical pre bamboo product was fabricated. Next, the product was processed into the gear using the gear hobbing machine. The gear produced with this technique had accuracy equivalent to POM gear fabricated by injection molding. Moreover, the bamboo gear fabricated at 200 degree centigrade showed clearly that noise, temperature and wear have performance equivalent to POM gear as dynamic performance.
