Nylon machined parts offer balanced mechanical properties and excellent resistance to wear.
Nylon is a highly versatile material commonly used in CNC machining because of its outstanding characteristics. It offers high tensile strength, a low coefficient of friction, and strong resistance to wear and abrasion, making it ideal for durable and reliable applications like gears, bushings, and bearings. Additionally, nylon’s low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability allow it to perform consistently in varying temperatures and humid environments.
Nylon is also easy to machine and resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical. With its wide range of properties, nylon is a dependable and adaptable choice for various CNC machining needs.
