ANULON-115 Cast Polyamide (PA-6)

ANULON-115 Cast Polyamide (PA-6) offers extremely good wear resistance, coupled with high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. It has qualities of impact resistance, a high heat distortion temperature, and resists wear abrasion, and vibration. In addition, ANULON-115 is impervious to a wide variety of chemicals,alkali, dilutes, acids and oxidizing agents. Another important quality of ANULON-115 is its relatively lighter weight (approximately 1/8th the weight of bronze, 1/7th the weight of steel, and half the weight of aluminum) which reduces both inertial and static loads and eases the handling of large components during maintenance or replacement procedures. ANULON-115 has balanced mechanical properties and its exceptional machinability makes it the ideal material for a wide range of applications such as gear, gear-racks, rollers, bearing blocks, wear plates, bushing, slipper pads, sliding bars, pulleys, ropeway tyres, & wheels etc.

ANULON-115 Molybdenum Disulphide (MOS2) enhances the load bearing and wear capabilities while maintaining impact strength and toughness. It is commonly used for gears, sheaves, pulleys, sprockets and custom parts.

ANULON-115 Oil Grade is a highly crystalline modification of ANULON-115. It has been specially designed for sliding application through built-in oil lubrication and stabilizers making it an integral part of the material’s structure. It offers a unique combination of properties compared to the standard type

ANULON-115. The oil and additives impregnated in the material provides continuous lubrication throughout the total lifetime of component. Compared to unfilled Cast Nylon, reduction of the coefficient of sliding friction can be achieved up to 50% leading to less friction heat and thus to significantly higher load bearing capacity.
