Description

Nylatron® GSM is a high-performance, internally lubricated cast Nylon 6 (PA6), reinforced with Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂). This advanced formulation significantly reduces the coefficient of friction (by up to 50%) and enhances wear resistance—making it up to 10 times more wear-resistant than standard unfilled Nylons. Specifically designed for un-lubricated moving parts, Nylatron® GSM is ideal for demanding industrial applications where traditional lubricants are impractical. Its low moisture absorption and high dimensional stability make it an excellent choice for components operating in humid or wet environments, withstanding continuous temperatures of up to 100°C.

Key Applications of Nylatron® GSM (PA6 + MoS₂ Filled Nylon Rod):

Bearings and Bushings: Excellent for dry-running conditions with minimal maintenance.
Gears and Sprockets: High load capacity and superior wear resistance in demanding environments.
Wear Pads and Slides: Low friction surface reduces energy loss and operating temperatures.
Pulley Wheels and Rollers: Provides quiet, smooth operation in conveyor systems.
Sealing Rings and Thrust Washers: Ideal for dynamic sealing applications without lubrication.
Automotive and Industrial Machinery Components: Lightweight, durable, and resistant to wear under heavy loads.

Key Properties of Nylatron® GSM:

Reduced Coefficient of Friction: Up to 50% lower compared to standard Nylon, minimizing heat buildup.
Enhanced Wear Resistance: Up to 10 times more wear-resistant than unfilled Nylon, ideal for high-friction applications.
Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains dimensional stability even in humid environments.
Self-Lubricating: Eliminates the need for external lubricants in many applications.
High Mechanical Strength and Stiffness: Excellent load-bearing capacity.
Thermal Resistance: Continuous operation at temperatures up to 100°C.
Good Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, fuels, and many chemicals.

Standard Colours:

Dark Grey (Graphite-like appearance) – Due to the MoS₂ filling.

Custom Options:

Cut to Size: Available in custom diameters and lengths to meet your specific requirements.
Custom Machining: Precision machining available for specialized industrial components.
Special Grades: Enhanced formulations for extreme operating conditions, upon request.

Nylatron® GSM (PA6 + MoS₂ Filled Nylon Rod) is the ultimate choice for industries seeking high-performance materials for unlubricated, high-wear mechanical components.
