Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.178" thick Nylon stock sheet measures 38" in width and 48" in length. Composed of high-grade nylon, it exhibits superior tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and good impact toughness. Its inherent lubricity minimizes friction, making it suitable for sliding components. The material's chemical resistance to many oils, greases, and solvents ensures long-term performance in industrial environments. These properties make it an ideal substrate for custom-machined parts, wear pads, and structural elements.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Machining at excessive speeds leading to melting or delamination.Utilize recommended cutting speeds and feeds for nylon to prevent thermal degradation. Employ adequate cooling if necessary.
Failing to account for nylon's hygroscopic nature in critical tolerance applications.Allow the material to acclimate to the operating environment for a sufficient period before final machining or assembly if moisture absorption could affect dimensional stability.

Common Applications

  • Wear Strips and Guides
  • Bushings and Bearings
  • Custom Machine Components
