Tech Specs
Product information
Nylatech Natural-Oil Cast Nylon 6 Rod. Oil-lubricated cast PA6 for wear parts with food-contact documentation requirements.
Select diameter and footage
Sold per linear foot (LFT): quantity 1 = 1 ft of material. Choose a 3–14 in 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 Natural-Oil
Consider this grade when internal lubrication and food-contact requirements both matter. Compare Natural for unfilled nylon, or Oil-Filled for the separate green oil-lubricated grade.
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: Natural · Blue · MD · Oil-Filled · SL · MD-Oil · PVM · Super Black · 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 Natural and 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.
