Nylon Bar

Nylon Bar - 1 M - 30 cm diameter 🧱 Description of a nylon bar A nylon bar (or polyamide bar – PA6, PA66, etc.) is a semi-finished product made of engineering plastic, usually round, square or flat in shape, used for machining mechanical parts. It is made by extrusion or casting, and then sold in standard lengths (often 1 to 3 meters) and in different diameters. ⚙️ Key features Nylon is a material widely used in mechanics thanks to its properties: Excellent mechanical strength (tensile, fatigue) Very good wear and abrasion resistance Low coefficient of friction (self-lubricating) Good impact resistance Chemical resistance (oils, greases, solvents) Good temperature resistance (approx. up to 100 °C continuously depending on quality) 👉 This makes it an excellent substitute for metal in some applications. ⚠️ Special features Moisture absorption: may swell slightly (up to ±3%) May slightly warp if improperly machined Less rigid than steel 🧰 Applications Nylon bars are used to make: Gears Rollers and rollers Bushings and Bearings Sliding parts Spacers and brackets 👉 Very present in mechanics, industry, agri-food and maintenance 👍 Benefits Lightweight and robust Quiet (dampens vibrations) Easy machining Corrosion resistant Sold as is - see photos
