Cast nylon (polyamide) rod with high strength and wear resistance.
Our manufactured Anulon-115 Cast Nylon (Polyamide Rod) offers superior mechanical strength, toughness, and resistance to abrasion. Widely used for gears, bushes, rollers, and wear pads, it provides reliable performance and easy machinability.
Anulon-115 Cast Nylon (Polyamide PA-6 Rod) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and machinability, making it a versatile replacement for metals in industrial applications. It is lightweight compared to bronze, steel, and aluminum, while offering strong mechanical and chemical resistance.
Wear resistance: Excellent abrasion resistance, ideal for moving parts.
Impact strength: High toughness and resilience against repeated impacts.
Chemical resistance: Impervious to alkalis, dilute acids, and oxidizing agents.
Lightweight: ~1/8th the weight of bronze, 1/7th of steel, and half of aluminum.
Machinability: Easy to machine into complex shapes.
Self-lubricating: Low coefficient of friction, reducing need for external lubrication.
Noise reduction: Low noise factor in mechanical systems.
Bushes and bearings
Gears, cams, and rollers
Conveyor screws and slipper pads
Guide shoes, liners, and saddles
Industrial pulleys and tyres
These applications highlight its ability to replace conventional metals in high-load, high-wear environments.
| Material | Relative Weight | Wear Resistance | Corrosion Resistance | Machinability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anulon-115 | 1/8 bronze, 1/7 steel, 1/2 aluminum | Excellent | Excellent | High |
| Bronze | Heavy | Good | Moderate | Moderate |
| Steel | Very heavy | Very good | Low (rusts) | Moderate |
| Aluminum | Medium | Fair | Good | High |
Moisture absorption: Like most nylons, Anulon-115 can absorb moisture, which may affect dimensional stability.
Temperature limits: While it has a high heat distortion temperature, extreme heat may reduce performance.
Not suitable for all chemical environments: Strong acids and certain solvents may degrade it.
Anulon-115 Cast Nylon is an economical, lightweight, and durable alternative to metals in industrial machinery. Its self-lubricating nature, toughness, and chemical resistance make it ideal for gears, bearings, and conveyor systems, especially where weight reduction and noise control are priorities.
Would you like me to provide a technical data sheet summary with exact mechanical values (tensile strength, modulus, etc.)
