Nylon rods, also known as nylon round bars or polyamide (PA) rods, are high-strength engineering plastic rods used for machining precision components such as gears, bushings, rollers, bearings, spacers, and structural parts. These industrial nylon rods provide excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability, making them suitable for demanding applications across multiple industries.
Available in PA6 rods, PA66 rods, and glass-filled nylon rods, these engineering plastic round bars are widely selected as a metal replacement material due to their strength-to-weight ratio and machinability.
Nylon Rods are available in different grades based on mechanical and thermal requirements :
| Nylon | Grades | |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon 6 (PA6) : | General-purpose nylon round bars offering good toughness and abrasion resistance. Suitable for continuous operating temperatures up to 100°C, depending on load and application. | |
| Nylon 66 (PA66) : | Higher strength and stiffness compared to PA6. These engineering nylon rods are suitable for applications requiring improved heat resistance up to 120°C. | |
| Glass Filled Nylon : | Reinforced nylon round bars designed for higher rigidity and dimensional stability. Suitable for load-bearing industrial applications up to 120–140°C, depending on reinforcement and stress conditions. | |
