CNC Machining Nylon
Nylon is also called polyamide, and its abbreviation is PA. Nylon is a general term for thermoplastic resins containing repeating amide groups [NHCO] in the main chain of the molecule. It is a tough, angular, translucent or milky white crystalline resin. Nylon is available in a wide variety of uses and has excellent toughness and abrasion resistance.
Custom CNC Machining Nylon Services
CNC nylon machining is to machine nylon parts of specified shape and size through various cnc machining services such as CNC milling, cnc lathing, cnc drillingt, etc. Nylon machined parts have the advantages of high chemical resistance and wear resistance, high hardness and toughness, these characteristics make them widely used in electrical, electronic, home appliances, machinery, automobile, and other industries. In addition, nylon is a plastic precision machining material that is non-toxic, light in weight, excellent in mechanical strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. Nylon machined parts are widely used in the manufacture of turbines, gears, bearings, impellers, cranks, dashboards, drive shafts, valves, vanes, screw rods, high pressure washers, screws, nuts, seals, shuttles, sleeves, sleeve connectorss, etc.
Advantages of Nylon Material and Nylon Machined Parts
1. High mechanical strength, good toughness, high tensile and compressive strength. The specific tensile strength is higher than metal, and the specific compressive strength can be compared with metal, but the rigidity is not as good as metal. The tensile strength is close to the yield strength, more than twice that of ABS. The ability to absorb shock, stress and vibration, the impact strength is much higher than ordinary plastics, and better than acetal resin.
2. Excellent fatigue resistance, nylon processed parts can still maintain the original mechanical strength after repeated bending. Common escalator handrails and new plastic bicycle rims often use PA materials where the effects of cyclic fatigue are very significant.
3. High softening point and heat resistance (such as nylon 46, etc.), high crystallinity nylon has a high heat distortion temperature, and can be used for a long time at 150 degrees. After PA66 is reinforced with glass fiber, its heat distortion temperature reaches above 250 degrees).
4. The surface is smooth, the friction coefficient is small, and it is wear-resistant. Self-lubricating and low noise when used as moving mechanical parts. When the friction is not too high, it can be used without lubricant. If you really need a lubricant to reduce friction or help dissipate heat, you can choose water, oil, etc. for its long life.
5. Corrosion resistance, extremely strong resistance to alkali and most salt solutions, weak acids, oils, gasoline, aromatic compounds and general solvents, inert to aromatic compounds, but not resistant to strong acids and oxidants. It can resist the erosion of gasoline, engine oil, fat, alcohol, etc., and has good anti-aging ability. Can be used as packaging material for lubricating oil and fuel.
