Nylatron 703XL is a cast nylon grade modified for enhanced friction and wear properties, delivering consistent, low-friction performance without stick-slip. Its coefficient of friction of 0.12 allows smooth operation in sliding and rotating applications.
This material maintains mechanical stability across a service temperature range of -20°C to 90°C, combined with a tensile strength of 60 MPa and a thermal expansion coefficient of 85 × 10⁻⁶ / °C. Dotmar supplies Nylatron 703XL as rod and sheet stock, ready for precision machining into custom wear components.
With medium chemical resistance and reliable dimensional stability, Nylatron 703XL is a practical choice for bushings, wear pads, and guides in general industrial equipment.
Key Features
- Low coefficient of friction (0.12) for smooth, stick-slip-free motion
- Service temperature range from -20°C to 90°C
- Tensile strength of 60 MPa
- Medium chemical resistance
- Available in rod and sheet formats for machining
Nylatron 703XL Applications & Uses
Nylatron 703XL is commonly specified for wear pads, bushings, thrust washers, and guide rails in materials handling, packaging machinery, marine, and general engineering. Its low friction and stick-slip resistance make it suitable for sliding applications where consistent motion control is critical.
