Approximate Sheet Weights (500mm × 500mm)
| Thickness | Weight | Thickness | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1mm | 0.29kg | 20mm | 5.75kg |
| 3mm | 0.86kg | 30mm | 8.63kg |
| 6mm | 1.73kg | 50mm | 14.38kg |
| 10mm | 2.88kg | 80mm | 23.00kg |
| 12mm | 3.45kg | 100mm | 28.75kg |
Weights are approximate, for guidance and delivery planning only. For other sheet sizes, weight scales with area: a 1000 × 500mm sheet weighs twice as much as 500 × 500mm. Large, thick sheets are delivered on a pallet.
Common Applications
- ⚙️ Gears & Sprockets — low-noise, self-lubricating drive components
- 🔩 Bushings & Bearings — wear pads, slide bearings, guide bushings
- 🏭 Jigs & Fixtures — precision tooling and workholding components
- 🍽️ Food Processing Equipment — conveyor components, cutting boards, guide rails
- ⚡ Electrical Insulation — terminal blocks, insulating spacers
- 🚗 Automotive — clips, brackets, fluid handling components
- 🔧 General Engineering — machine parts, structural components, prototypes
- 🏗️ Heavy Engineering — large gears, gear racks, crane sheaves and boom pads
Machining Guidelines
Nylon 6 machines cleanly using standard HSS or carbide tooling. Use sharp tools, moderate cutting speeds and air or coolant to manage heat. Drill undersized and finish-ream for precise bore tolerances. Sheets can be sawn, milled, turned and laser cut.
How to Choose Your Thickness
- 1mm to 5mm: washers, shims, wear strips and liners.
- 6mm to 16mm: wear pads, guides, brackets, small gears and plates.
- 20mm to 50mm: bushes, rollers, sprockets and machined blocks.
- 60mm to 100mm: large gears, sheaves and heavy-duty wear components.
Allow a little extra thickness if you need to machine both faces flat. Choose the smallest sheet size that fits all your parts to keep cost and waste down.
