Nylon Gear

Description of Nylon Parts: Outstanding wear resistance with a coefficient of friction typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.3, making it 1/4 of phenolic plastic and 1/3 of Babbit alloy—a self-lubricating material with excellent mechanical properties. Nylon products have high hardness and tensile, flexural, and impact strength, as well as good elongation. Their compressive strength is comparable to metals, and their fatigue strength is on par with cast iron and aluminum alloys. Stable chemical resistance ensures it remains unaffected by chemicals, including weak alkalis, esters, hydrocarbons, and oils. Lightweight with good toughness, strong wear resistance, oil resistance, and vibration resistance, they are suitable for manufacturing wear-resistant parts, transmission components, household appliance parts, automotive components, and protective parts for machinery. They are also used in electrical insulation components such as turbines, gears, bearings, impellers, blades, screws, nuts, bolts, reeds, sleeves, and connectors.

Advantages of Nylon Products:

High strength, capable of withstanding loads for extended periods.

(2) Excellent resilience, allowing it to bend without distortion, while maintaining toughness and withstanding repeated impacts.

(3) Wear-resistant and self-lubricating properties, offering superior performance over bronze, cast iron, carbon steel, and phenolic laminates in oil-free (or de-oiled) lubrication applications, reducing consumption and conserving energy.

(4) Noise absorption and vibration reduction, the modulus of MC nylon is much smaller than that of metal, providing greater vibration attenuation and an effective way to prevent noise that surpasses that of metal.

(5) Compared to metal, MC nylon has lower hardness and does not damage the mating parts.

(6) Low mc coefficient, offering broad application possibilities on friction parts.

(7) High chemical stability, resistant to alkalis, alcohols, ethers, hydrocarbons, weak acids, lubricants, detergents, and water (seawater), with odorless, non-toxic, tasteless, and non-corrosive properties, providing excellent conditions for its wide application in alkaline corrosion resistance, environmental hygiene, food, textile dyeing and printing, and other mechanical parts.

(8) Simplifies machine maintenance and labor-saving, excellent mechanical machining performance, and boosts labor productivity.

(9) Molding Compound Nylon is limited to use in the following environments and media:

Long-term use at temperatures exceeding 120℃.

b. Strong acids, phenol, sodium chlorate, barium chloride, etc.

c. Key components for high-precision machinery.
