Product information

Nylatech MD-Oil Cast Nylon 6 Tube. Cast PA6 combining moly modification and internal oil lubrication.

Select your tube size

14.5–18 in outside diameter (OD). Select OD, then inside diameter (ID).

Sold each (EA): quantity 1 = one complete tube. Standard length is 26 or 52 in, fixed by the OD/ID combination; confirm the selected length. Length is not a separate option.

Choosing MD-Oil

Consider MD-Oil for loaded parts with slow movement and difficult lubrication access. Compare MD without oil lubrication or Oil-Filled without moly modification.

Tube is machining stock for bushings, sleeves and rings, not finished bearings or pressure-rated pipe. Nominal wall thickness = (OD − ID) ÷ 2.

Other tube grades: Natural · Natural-Oil · Blue · MD · Oil-Filled · SL · PVM · Super Black.

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.
