Nylon Parts We Manufacture
We machine nylon parts for industrial machinery, automotive, food processing, and agriculture. Every part is engineered for durability and cost-effectiveness.
Wear Pads and Strips
High-friction wear surfaces for sliding and guiding applications. Extended service life.
Bushings and Bearings
Self-lubricating bushings for high-speed rotation and sliding. Replace metal bearings.
Gears and Sprockets
Low-noise gears for light and medium-duty drives. Excellent wear resistance.
Rollers and Wheels
Conveyor rollers, idler wheels, guide rollers. High-load rated.
Seals and Gaskets
Chemical-resistant seals for pumps, compressors, and hydraulic systems.
Guide Rails and Slides
Precision guide rails for smooth movement. Low-cost alternative to metal guides.
Electrical Insulators
Non-conductive components for electrical equipment and machine guarding.
Custom Structural Components
Load-bearing parts for machinery and equipment. Glass-filled for extra strength.
Nylon Grades Available
Nylon grades are selected for wear resistance, strength, and operating environment.
| Grade | Properties | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon 6 | Excellent toughness, good wear resistance, flexible | Wear pads, bushings, standard industrial |
| Nylon 66 | Higher strength and stiffness, better thermal stability | High-load bearings, structural components |
| Nylon 6/12 | Lower moisture absorption, better dimensional stability | Precision applications, dimensional stability critical |
| Glass-Filled Nylon | Increased strength and stiffness, reduced creep | High-load and high-temp applications |
| Oil-Filled Nylon | Self-lubricating, ultra-low friction, extended life | High-speed bearings, continuous operation |
| Food-Grade Nylon | FDA-approved for food contact | Food processing equipment, conveyor systems |

Nylon Parts FAQ
What types of nylon do you machine?
We machine Nylon 6 (excellent for bearing and wear applications, good toughness), Nylon 66 (higher strength and stiffness, better thermal stability), Nylon 6/12 (lower moisture absorption, better dimensional stability), and reinforced grades like glass-filled nylon (increased strength and stiffness) and oil-filled nylon (self-lubricating properties).
What are the advantages of nylon for wear parts?
Nylon offers: excellent wear resistance and durability, natural lubricity (reduces friction and extends component life), lower noise than metal-to-metal contact, chemical resistance to oils and coolants, lightweight compared to metal, and cost-effectiveness. Nylon parts typically outperform brass or bronze bushings in high-speed applications.
What tolerances can you hold on nylon parts?
Nylon has higher thermal expansion than metals, so we design parts accounting for this. We routinely hold ±0.03mm on general dimensions and ±0.02mm on critical features. Bore tolerances can achieve H7 fits. Moisture absorption causes slight dimensional change — we account for this in design.
Can you manufacture food-grade nylon components?
Yes. Food-grade nylon is available for conveyor systems, food processing equipment, and commercial kitchen machinery. We supply nylon components certified for food contact in compliance with FDA and EU food safety standards.
What is the typical lead time for nylon parts?
Nylon parts typically ship within 5–10 business days. Fast turnaround is a major advantage of plastic machining — no heat treatment or long lead times. Standard grades are in stock for rapid prototyping.
How does nylon compare to Delrin for precision parts?
Nylon has higher wear resistance and flexibility; Delrin has better dimensional stability and lower friction. Nylon is lower cost and performs better in high-friction applications. Delrin is preferred for food contact and applications requiring ultra-tight tolerances. Material choice depends on your application requirements.
