Nyloil
Nyloil® (oil-impregnated cast nylon)
Properties
- A cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication
- Superior machinability
- Durability
- Lubrication results in 25% lower coefficient of friction than other grades of nylon.
- Performs in settings in which lubrication is undesirable, difficult or impossible.
- Operates efficiently in direct contact with abrasive slurries
- Successful in marine applications
- Reduced water absorption promotes higher dimensional stability
Common uses
- Gears
- Bearings
- Bushings
- Sprockets
- Wear pads
- Pulleys
- Guides
- Insulators
- Rollers
