Wear-Resistant Nylon Tubes

Color: Off-White
Temperature Range: -40° to 165° F
Tensile Strength: 11,200-12,300 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 0.6-1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R108-R121 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: No
Specifications Met: ASTM D6779, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1500, UL 94 HB

Because these wear-resistant nylon 6/6 tubes have a slippery surface that reduces friction, they’re often machined into bearings, gears, and valve seats.

Tubes with an oversized OD also have an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.

MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

Color: Black
Maximum Temperature: 230° F
Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: ASTM D5989

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes. Tubes can be used to fabricate pulleys, bushings, and bearings installed in hard-to-reach areas where adding a lubricant would be difficult. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

Oil-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

Color: Green
Temperature Range: 32° to 230° F
Tensile Strength: 9,500-10,000 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1.2-1.4 ft-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: ASTM D5989

Impregnated with oil, these tubes remain slippery over time. Use them to fabricate pulleys, bushings, and bearings for use in hard-to-reach areas 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. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized for finishing to the sizes listed. This material is comparable to Nycast and Nyloil.
