GEHR Nylon

Nylon shows both a high thermostability (temperature resistant from -40 °C to approx. +100 °C) and high stiffness, hardness and toughness. These are some of the main characteristics. Due to the fact, that the good mechanical characteristics will be achieved only after conditioning, this material must be conditioned again after annealing. In addition, this conditioning occurs with a longer storage in air automatically.
Properties:
high strength and stiffness
high impact and notching impact strength
high heat deflection temperature
good at dampening
good glide and damping ability
good chemical stability against organic solvents and fuels
size alteration by humidity absorption must be considered
dimension stability, electrical and mechanical properties may become affected by absorbing moisture or water
Applications:
Bearing parts (good sliding properties), gear wheels, pump parts, sliding rails, castors (reduction of the noise level), fittings.
