Nylon (PA6) is a stiff, strong engineering thermoplastic with excellent wear and bearing properties. Lighter and with less operating noise than metal, nylon serves as a replacement for metal parts in bearing and wear applications. Nylon reduces or eliminates the need for external lubrication and increases part life by reducing wear on mating parts.
Nylon is self-lubricating and comes in both cast type 6 and extruded type 6/6 grades. Cast type 6 nylon is more pliable with higher strength and dimensional stability. Extruded type 6/6 nylon has a higher melting point. Oil-filled, glass-filled and MD variations of nylon feature additives for enhancement of mechanical properties.
