Product details and technical data

Product information

Nylatech® SL Cast Nylon 6 Rod. Solid-lubricant-modified cast PA6 for machined sliding-wear components.

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® SL

Consider Nylatech® SL where external lubrication is difficult. Compare Nylatech® Oil-Filled for liquid-oil lubrication or Nylatech® PVM when evaluating bearing pressure and sliding speed together.

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 · Nylatech® Natural-Oil · Nylatech® Blue · Nylatech® MD · Nylatech® Oil-Filled · 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.
