Premium Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 60mm Dia Durable Cast Polyamide Bar

Lightweight High Quality Cast Nylon Bar for Large Gears and Gear Racks

Our premium natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 60mm dia, is produced from high quality cast polyamide 6, which offers more strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon. This durable engineering plastic performs well in working temperatures from 0°C to +90°C. The cast nylon 6 range is also food compliant, so the same bar can be used in hygienic areas and on the workshop floor.

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

Typical Applications

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

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

Engineers and fabricators choose this durable rod for lifting equipment, drive systems and sliding parts that must last. The natural colour makes marking out and checking dimensions simple. Choose the length you need and start machining.
