This high performance cast nylon 6 bearing grade provides an even better wear resistance than Nylatron NSM, combined with superior pressure-velocity capabilities and an industry first: a near zero level of "stick-slip". The elimination of stick-slip, mostly associated with chatter or squeaking, provides an extraordinary amount of motion control for high-precision applications.

Product Overview.

High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
Good fatigue resistance
High mechanical damping ability
Good sliding properties
Excellent wear resistance
Good electrical insulating properties
Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
Good machinability

Engineering Notes.

Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
