Which type of nylon is usually used to make nylon gear?
2022-10-20
Nylon as a gear has the advantages of light weight, fatigue resistance, impact absorption and good self lubrication. For parts that are afraid of being contaminated by lubricant or cannot be lubricated frequently, use cast nylon gear to fit. Moreover, it does not damage the corresponding gear or connecting parts, and has low noise. It has achieved remarkable results in textile, paper making, printing, machinery and other industrial applications. MC nylon (casting) or PA nylon (injection molding) is usually used to make nylon gear. MC nylon, oil-bearing nylon, with high mechanical strength, better abrasion resistance, rust resistance, aging resistance, self-lubricating, light weight, sound absorption and shock absorption, etc. The comprehensive mechanical properties are far better than ordinary engineering plastics, and it is an ideal material to replace copper, stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals. Physical properties of PA nylon: tough, abrasion resistant, oil resistant, water resistant, mildew resistant, but high water absorption Nylon 6 has good elasticity, high impact and high water absorption. The properties of Nylon 66 are better than nylon 6, with high degree and good abrasion resistance. Nylon 610 is similar to nylon 66, but has low water absorption and stiffness Nylon 1010 is translucent, with small water absorption and good cold resistance. It is suitable for making general mechanical parts, antifriction parts, transmission parts and chemical, electrical, instrument and other parts. Performance points: good resistance to tension, hardness, abrasion, self lubrication, etc. After modification, some properties can be shown. For example, common glass fiber can make it more resistant to abrasion and high temperature. It is often used to replace rigid iron copper or to coat steel with nylon to reduce noise and weight.
