Product details and technical data

Product information

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

Select your tube size

6.25" to 10.5" outside diameter (OD). Select OD, then inside diameter (ID).

Sold each (EA): quantity 1 = one complete tube. Standard length: 52". Length is not a separate option.

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.

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