Wear-Resistant Nylon 6 Rods | PA6 Plastic Rod Supplier

Nylon Rod（PA6 Rod）

FEATURES

1. High strength and stiffness: Excellent mechanical properties with good tensile strength (up to 80 MPa) and rigidity.

2. Wear resistance: Suitable for high-friction applications (e.g., gears, bearings).

3. Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, and hydrocarbons, but avoid strong acids/alkalis.

4. Temperature Resistance: Performs well within -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +258°F), with short-term exposure up to 180°C (356°F).

5. Moisture Absorption: PA6 absorbs water (2.5–3%), affecting dimensional stability and strength.

6. Machinability: Easily cut, drilled, and machined into precision components.

Q&A

Q

What are PA6 plastic rods, and what are their main features?

PA6 (Nylon 6) rods are high-performance engineering plastic rods renowned for their exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance. Lightweight yet highly durable, they are an ideal choice for industrial and precision applications.

Q

What temperature range can PA6 withstand?

PA6 rods can operate reliably under various temperature conditions:

Short-term exposure: -40°C to +180°C

Continuous use: -30°C to +120°C

High-temperature, heat-stabilized versions: Up to +140°C
These properties make PA6 suitable for components exposed to both low and high temperatures, such as automotive under-the-hood parts or industrial machinery components.

Q

What are the typical applications of PA6 rods?

PA6 rods have a wide range of applications across multiple industries, including:

– Automotive: Bushings, gears, clamps, and under-the-hood components

– Industrial machinery: Rollers, conveyor components, bearings, and structural parts

– Electrical and electronics: Insulation components, connectors, and housings

– Food and packaging equipment: FDA-compliant mixing rods, conveyor guides, and contact surfaces
Its high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity make it an ideal choice for precision machinery applications.

Q

How resistant is PA6 to chemicals and moisture?

PA6 exhibits good resistance to oils, fuels, greases, and many common chemicals. However, it is sensitive to strong acids, strong alkalis, and oxidizing agents. PA6 also absorbs moisture over time, which can slightly affect its dimensional stability; this should be considered in high-precision applications.

Q

Can PA6 rods be machined or customized?

Yes. PA6 rods are easy to machine and can be processed using standard cutting, drilling, milling, and turning tools. Our factory offers custom diameters, lengths, and tight tolerance grades to meet your specific specifications.

Q

How durable are PA6 rods under wear and abrasion?

PA6 rods offer excellent wear resistance, making them suitable for sliding, bearing, and conveyor applications. They maintain stable performance over extended periods of use, thereby reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Q

Are PA6 rods suitable for food contact or medical equipment?

Certain PA6 grades meeting FDA standards can be used in food processing, packaging, and medical devices, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance for sensitive applications.

Q

What sizes and delivery options are available?

We maintain a substantial inventory of PA6 rods in a wide range of diameters (e.g., 10 mm to 200 mm) and selectable lengths (e.g., 500 mm to 2000 mm). Custom dimensions are also available. Our factory accommodates bulk orders and offers expedited international shipping to meet the needs of B2B clients.

Q

Why should I choose your factory for PA6 rods?

We are a direct manufacturer of PA6 and other engineering plastics, ensuring competitive pricing, quality control, and customization capabilities. Our rods are manufactured to exacting standards to guarantee dimensional accuracy, consistent mechanical properties, and exceptional surface finish.
