    Oil-Filled Cast Nylon Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Oil-Filled Cast Nylon Rods.
    These rods remain slippery over time because they’re impregnated with an oil lubricant. Use them to fabricate pulleys, screws, bushings, and bearings for use in hard-to-reach places where adding a lubricant would be difficult. Because they are made of cast nylon 6, they are easier to machine than standard nylon rods, plus they’re better electrical insulators. This material is comparable to Nycast and Nyloil.

    Oil-Filled Cast Nylon Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Oil-Filled Cast Nylon Sheets.
    Fabricate gears, sprockets, and wear strips for use in hard-to-reach areas where adding lubricants would be difficult. These sheets are impregnated with an oil lubricant, so they stay slippery over time. Because they are made of cast nylon 6, they are easier to machine than standard nylon sheets, plus they’re better electrical insulators. This material is comparable to Nycast and Nyloil.

    Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.
    With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
    Oil-Filled Nylon—Oil can’t seep out because it is locked inside the nylon. The oil resists moisture, making these the only nylon bearings suitable for wet and humid areas. Similar to MDS-filled nylon, they are slicker than standard nylon with the same great wear resistance.

    Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

    Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.
    Flanged sleeve bearings combine a sleeve and thrust bearing in one. The flange supports thrust loads and prevents the bearing from being pushed out of place. The sleeve is the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
