Cast Nylons Premium Bearing Grades
NYCAST® NYOIL®
NYCAST® NYLOIL® is the very first oil-filled cast nylon, introduced to North America 25 years ago. Often copied, never equaled, CNL's NYLOIL® is carefully dispersed with an oil-based lubricant during the manufacturing process. The result is a highly crystalline, internally lubricated, high-strength polymer with enhanced wear and reduced friction properties.
NYLOIL® is offered in grades tailored to specific applications:
- NYLOIL® (Green) - ideal for most anti-friction applications
- NYLOIL® FG (Natural) - specified for direct contact with food - FDA and USDA 3A compliant
- NYLOIL MDX® (Gray or Blue) - designed for slightly higher load capabilities
SOLID LUBRICANT-FILLED
NYCAST® RX (Red) & NYCAST® GX (Gray) - are solid lubricant-filled cast nylons designed to provide low coefficient of friction and superior wear resistance, making them an excellent choice in high-load, low-speed applications.
NYCAST® SLX -"Stick-Slip"
SLX joins the Nycast® family of premium bearing grades as an engineering and design solution for bearing and
wear applications. Nycast® SLX closes the gap between static and dynamic coefficients of friction with superior
performance where customers require the best material for overcoming "stick-slip" tendencies.
Unlike the competition, Cast Nylons Limited offers SLX in all our standard stock shape configurations. We never limit
your design to only a few options. This is one more reason to put the Nycast® Advantage to work for you.
Manufactured with a proprietary lubrication package, Nycast® SLX is available as plate up to 4" thick, rod up to 12" diameter, and tubular bar up to 40" diameter.
Applications:
- Wear pads
- Wear guides
- Bearing blocks
- Linear bearings and bushings
- Any load-bearing slide application,
especially in start/stop functions |
