Additional Specifications |
A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.
