Heavy Duty Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 56mm Dia Tough Cast Polyamide

Reliable High Quality Cast Nylon Rod for Bearings, Bushes and Boom Pads

This heavy duty natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 56mm dia, is made from high quality cast polyamide 6. It delivers higher strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon and works reliably in temperatures from 0°C to +90°C. The cast nylon 6 range is food compliant, so it is suitable for hygienic areas as well as demanding industrial use.

Cast nylon is not as stressed as extruded nylon, so it machines better and finished parts hold their size. Its characteristics are similar to extruded nylon 6.6, with good creep resistance and long wear life under steady loads. As a lightweight alternative to metal, it can help cut weight, noise and lubrication needs.

Typical Applications

• Large gears
• Bearings
• Bushes
• Gear racks
• Crane sheaves
• Boom pads

This solid round bar is simple to cut and turn into bearings and bushes, and it can be machined into large gears, gear racks, crane sheaves and boom pads to your own drawing. The smooth, hard surface runs well against steel and resists many oils, greases and common workshop chemicals, so maintenance stays low.

Fabricators and maintenance teams rely on this rod for lifting equipment, drive parts and sliding assemblies that need long service life. The natural colour makes marking out and inspection easy. Order the length you need and start machining.
