Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive heat during machining, leading to melting and poor cut quality.Employ coolant or a lubrication system during cutting and machining operations. Use sharp tooling designed for plastics.
Incorrectly selecting fasteners or adhesives due to Nylon's material properties.Consult material compatibility charts for suitable fasteners (e.g., self-tapping screws for plastics) and adhesives. Consider mechanical fastening methods where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Gears and Sprockets
  • Bushings and Bearings
  • Wear Strips and Guides
  • Structural Components
  • Housings and Brackets

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids and bases, which can degrade Nylon.
  • Nylon can absorb moisture, potentially affecting dimensional stability in humid environments. Consider this in critical applications.
