Product details and technical data
Product information
Nylatech® Natural Cast Nylon 6 Rod. Unfilled cast PA6 for general-purpose machined wear parts.
Select diameter and footage
Sold per linear foot (LFT): quantity 1 = 1' of material. Choose a 3" to 14" diameter. The price is per foot, not per four-foot bar.
For cut lengths, specify each piece’s length and the number of pieces; total footage alone does not define the cuts.
Choosing Nylatech® Natural
A starting point for general wear components. Compare Nylatech® Oil-Filled when internal lubrication is needed, or Nylatech® Blue for heat-stabilized material.
Rod provides a solid starting shape for turned rollers, pins and similar parts. For a large through-bore, compare tube stock to reduce centre material removal.
Other rod grades: Nylatech® Natural-Oil · Nylatech® Blue · Nylatech® MD · Nylatech® Oil-Filled · Nylatech® SL · Nylatech® MD-Oil · Nylatech® PVM · Nylatech® Super Black · Nylatech® Food Grade Blue.
Allow for machining: dimensions are nominal stock sizes, not finished-part tolerances. Nylon absorbs moisture; consider dimensional change, temperature, chemicals and operating loads when specifying close-fitting parts.
Food contact: The manufacturer reports Nylatech® Natural and Nylatech® Natural-Oil meet 21 CFR 177.1500. Confirm the supplied grade’s declaration for your food-contact conditions; this does not certify the finished part.
