Round Rod in PA6.6 120" black

This is a round rod made of PA6.6, polyamide 6.6, a stiffer and more heat resistant nylon than PA6.

The material is semi-crystalline and has a melting point of 261 °C.

The density is 1.14 g/cm³ and the moisture absorption at 23 degrees and 50 percent relative humidity sits at 2.5 percent.

The yield strength is 85 MPa, the elongation at break 55 percent and the tensile modulus 3274 MPa.

The ball indentation hardness is 165 MPa and Shore D 83. The continuous service temperature is 98 °C, 168 °C for short periods.

Used for gears, sprockets, slide strips, bearing bushings, wear plates and structural parts that need a little higher stiffness and heat resistance than PA6.

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 PA6.6 in the color black suits gears, slide strips, bearing bushings and wear plates where somewhat higher stiffness than PA6 is needed.

The black color on this PA6.6 round rod makes it easy to identify in production and lowers the risk of mix-ups.

This specific round rod in PA6.6 is a standalone format in the range.
