Product information
Nylatech Natural-Oil Cast Nylon 6 Tube. Oil-lubricated cast PA6 for wear parts with food-contact documentation requirements.
Select your tube size
3–6 in outside diameter (OD). Select OD, then inside diameter (ID).
Sold each (EA): quantity 1 = one complete tube. Standard length: 52 in. Length is not a separate option.
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.
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 · Blue · MD · Oil-Filled · SL · MD-Oil · 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.
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.
