Machined Applications
As one of the world's leading manufacturer of engineering polymers, here at Nylacast we continue to consult material specifiers, designers and manufacturers of engineering polymers to replace traditional engineering materials such as steel, cast iron, bronze and ceramics.
When reverting to a cast nylon component there are numerous advantages surrounding the improved performance and cost reduction. They include:
- Increased components life
- Zero corrosion
- Weight reduction
- Improved wear-performance/friction coefficient
- Noise dampening
- Electrical and thermal insulation
- Internal lubrication
- Non-Stick characteristics
- Abrasion resistance
- Dimensional Stability
- Chemical Resistance
Supporting Your Project
Nylacast has a specialist team in place to support your project from start to finish. We have:
- In house design facilities
- Latest CAD/CAM machine tool technology
- Complex components in any quantity
- Material selection advice
- Samples and rapid prototypes
- Small and large volumes
- Skilled Sales-engineers covering a specific geographic territory
- Lean manufacturing
Having been prominent in the supply of engineering plastic components to end-users for over 40 years, Nylacast is probably unmatched in its knowledge of applications for these materials. Bearing materials are the lifeblood of the mechanised world and the almost infinite potential within an enormous range of industry sectors is difficult to imagine. The UK, European and North American markets are serviced by skilled sales-engineers covering a specific geographic territory and supported by a strong internal sales and marketing team.
With the constant development of new materials offering further choice to designers or maintenance engineers, Nylacast expects strong growth from this division for many years to come. Manufacturers of traditional metal bearing materials and average-performing engineering polymers had better be aware that in this arena it is component performance and service life that counts with the customer.
