Nylon 6 rod is a robust engineering plastic prized for its strength, rigidity, and ease of machining. It delivers reliable heat resistance, electrical insulation, and moderate chemical resistance, making it suitable for diverse engineering tasks.
Henry Gallacher supplies a comprehensive selection of Nylon 6 rods, including cast rods known for superior strength and reduced moisture uptake, extruded rods offering precise dimensions and thinner profiles, and standard grades for general machining. We also provide specialised variants such as flame retardant grades tailored for specific industrial requirements.
For detailed specifications and stock information on each type, please explore the links below or contact us directly for assistance.
This widely used engineering plastic rod combines toughness and strength with good resistance to oils and chemicals. Ideal for machining into components like bushings, spacers, and rollers across various sectors. Suitable for temperatures from -40°C to +110°C.
Featuring excellent wear, sliding, and chemical resistance, this rigid rod is easy to machine and electrically insulating. Commonly used for wheels, gears, scrapers, and rollers. Operates effectively between -40°C and +100°C.
Combines high strength, stiffness, and hardness with outstanding creep and wear resistance. Resistant to oils, chemicals, and cleaning agents. Frequently machined into OEM wear parts. Suitable for -40°C to +100°C.
Easy to machine with enhanced lubrication properties, reducing friction by up to 50% and increasing wear resistance tenfold compared to standard Nylon 6. Ideal for slow-moving, heavily loaded, unlubricated parts. Temperature range -40°C to +110°C.
Offers up to ten times greater wear resistance and 50% less friction than standard Nylon 6 rods. Internally lubricated for enhanced durability, perfect for slow-moving, heavily loaded, unlubricated components. Temperature range -40°C to +105°C.
Designed for enhanced load capacity and wear resistance, this rod also provides improved mechanical strength, toughness, self-lubrication, electrical insulation, and fatigue resistance. Suitable for machining components exposed to demanding conditions. Temperature range -40°C to +110°C.
Offers excellent machinability combined with strength, stiffness, and hardness, along with strong wear resistance. Provides good electrical insulation and chemical resistance. FDA approved for food contact applications. Commonly used for rollers, wheels, and gears. Temperature range -40°C to +85°C.
Delivers superior load bearing and wear resistance compared to standard extruded rods. Exhibits high impact and fatigue resistance alongside strong mechanical properties. Ideal for gears, sheaves, and sprockets. Temperature range -40°C to +85°C.
This flame retardant grade retains the mechanical qualities of standard Nylon 6 rods. It meets EU rail vehicle standards and holds a UL94-V0 rating. Its low density offers weight savings. Suitable for temperatures from -20°C to +85°C, with short-term tolerance up to +160°C.
