Mechanical Components
High-performance plastic mechanical parts scientifically developed and manufactured to support your innovative projects.
Move, Stop, Push, Pull, Control Speed, Lock, Insulate, Filter, and More With Confidence.
Enplas is a leader in the development and manufacturing of custom mechanical plastic parts for applications across the automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and other industries. Enplas engineers utilize scientific and performance-driven processes to design reliable plastic gears for your applications. Thorough DFM, in-house fine tool making, scientific injection molding, and automated assembly are conducted for all mechanical parts and devices to ensure mechanical performance in manufactured components.
Gears and Gear Trains
Enplas custom-designs and manufactures scientifically validated gears and gear trains to meet your performance and reliability standards. Our engineers utilize simulation and modeling technology following our empirical gear performance database and rigorous testing procedures to ensure reliable design and manufacturing. Enplas supplies spur gears, helical gears, worm and worm wheel gears, planetary gear systems, and many more custom and standard formats.
Other Mechanical Parts
Customers come to Enplas to develop and manufacture other plastic components that conduct critical mechanical functions in automotive, medical, and other industries. Enplas delivers a steady supply of high volume, high quality, and high-performance parts with our extensive DFM, performance-focused engineering, including problem-solving, fine tool making, and deep expertise in injection molding.
Mechanical Components and Devices for the Medical Industry
Gears, locks, luers, screw caps, and more! Many medical devices require mechanical systems with strict no-fail standards. Gears must be precise for any medical device or sealing mechanism that cannot leak fluids. Enplas delivers high-quality injection molded parts to meet strict regulatory and clinical standards.
Mechanical Fluid Control Systems on Microfluidic Devices
Enplas offers mechanical fluid control features on microfluidic chips, including:
- Hydrophilic surface treatments for smooth fluid flow
- Small notches that act as “stop valves” on microchannels
- Optimized fluid channel shapes and geometries for precise fluid control
- On-chip valve and pump systems to push, pull, meter, mix, and conduct other fluid controls on microfluidic chips with minimum instrumentation. For example, see our Rotary Membrane Valve and Pump (RMVP) system.
Mechanical Components and Devices for the Automotive Industry
Automotive parts require special features, such as heat tolerance heat and longevity. To ensure these features are consistent in our mass-produced parts, we conduct extensive tests during product development (e.g., stress tests). As a result, we produce reliable parts for fuel pumps, ABS/ESC, seat belts, motor insulators, electric throttle valves, and more.
- Cam Injection Molding: Contour precision is essential for accurate and efficient mechanical cam systems. Enplas’s expertise in precision cam tool building and injection molding allows us to provide you with high-quality plastic cams in mass volumes.
