The use of polymer composite materials (PCM) in the designs of spur gears is discussed. Various types of composite materials, their properties, options for fillers and databases of polymer composites are analyzed. The characteristics of PCM for gear links of spur gears, including gears with asymmetric profiles, as well as shell forming matrices for their manufacture from PCM, are described. The issues of ensuring the PCM gears precision are also considered and methods for assessing their quality level are proposed, including a probabilistic method for accuracy calculating. Examples of manufacturing non-standard gears from PCM are presented.
