Round Rod in PA6 C OL 800x750 mm yellow

This is a round rod made of PA6 C OL, oil filled cast polyamide 6 with the oil built into the material.

The material is semi-crystalline and has a melting point of 217 °C.

The density is 1.15 g/cm³ and the moisture absorption at 23 degrees and 50 percent relative humidity is 1.9 percent.

The yield strength is 75 MPa, the elongation at break 45 percent and the tensile modulus 3050 MPa.

The sliding friction against steel is about 0.15 dry, compared with 0.36 for unfilled cast PA6.

The continuous service temperature is 108 °C, 160 °C for short periods and the lowest working temperature -40 °C. The fire rating is HB.

Used for bearing bushings, slide strips, chain guides, wear rails and other sliding surfaces that have to run dry without regular relubrication.

The rod can be turned, milled, drilled and tapped with tools meant for engineering plastics. Carbide and coated inserts work best. Moisture affects the dimensions, so let the material rest in the workshop climate before the finishing cuts.

This particular round rod in PA6 C OL measuring 800 x 750 mm in the color yellow suits dry sliding surfaces such as bearing bushings, slide strips and wear rails without regular lubrication.
