This study emphasis on the optimization of the operating parameters viz. gear fabrication technique, rotational speed and applied torque on fabricated gears to improve their performance. Polymer gears are injection molded using conventional and horizontal centrifugal casting technique known as homogeneous and FGM gears, respectively. Material used to fabricate the gear is High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Taguchi technique is used to optimize the performance output of homogeneous and FGM gears with respect to input parameters such as torque and rotational speeds. Three different rotational speeds of 400, 700 and 1000 rpm along with three different torque levels of 1, 2 and 3 Nm are selected for this investigation. Number of cycles of 1.5×10 5  was fixed for the experimentation. The influence of input control parameters on performance output is analysed by ANOVA analysis. The results finding show that the thermal behavior of gear is very much affected by torque whereas the specific wear rate (WR) is utmost pointedly influenced by the gear fabrication technique i.e. FGM gear has small tooth wear in the compression of homogeneous and neat HDPE gears.
