Cast Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Info
Cut Tolerance +0" -.25"
As a strong stiff plastic, Nylon 6 has outstanding wear resistance and can be used as a replacement for metal bearings and bushings. It acts as a self-lubricator and reduces weight, wear, and operating noise.
Advantages
- Excellent abrasion and wear resistance
- High tensile and compressive strengths
- Low coefficient of friction
- Light weight
- Easy machining
Applications
- Bearings and Bushings
- Gears
- Rollers and wheels
- Sheaves used in the mobile crane industry
- Wear pads for telescoping booms
