Description
Black graphite-filled nylon 66 (PA66) round bar from 40mm to 100mm diameter, in lengths from 500mm to 3000mm. Adding graphite to tough nylon 66 gives a self-lubricating material with lower friction and better wear life than unfilled nylon, making it ideal for bearings, bushes and slides that run dry or with very little lubrication.
- ✔ Self-lubricating – graphite filler reduces friction for dry-running parts
- ✔ Excellent wear resistance in sliding and rotating applications
- ✔ Strong, stiff and tough – nylon 66 base for higher load capacity
- ✔ Lightweight bronze replacement – quieter running, no corrosion
- ✔ Machines cleanly – turns, mills, drills and taps with standard tools

FAQ
How is this different from MoS₂-filled nylon or Nylatron®?
All three use a solid lubricant to cut friction. Graphite-filled nylon 66 offers similar dry-running benefits and is a cost-effective alternative for most bearing and wear applications. Nylatron® is a registered trademark of its respective owner.
