Nylatron NSM is a member of the Nylatron family of engineering plastics, specifically a cast nylon formulated with a solid internal lubricant. This modification significantly lowers the material’s coefficient of friction compared to standard nylon, enhancing its performance in dynamic applications.
With a service temperature range of -30 °C to 90 °C, good tensile strength, and medium chemical resistance, Nylatron NSM provides a reliable solution for moving parts. Sourced from Dotmar, this material is available in rod and sheet formats, ready for precision machining and fabrication to meet specific project requirements.
Key Features
- Internally lubricated for reduced coefficient of friction (0.2)
- Suitable for higher-speed bearing applications
- Continuous service temperature up to 90 °C
- Good tensile strength of 80 MPa
- Available in machinable rod and sheet formats
- Medium chemical resistance
Nylatron NSM is typically specified for bearings, bushings, and wear pads operating at higher speeds, particularly in applications where external lubrication is present. Common industries utilising this material include general engineering, materials handling, and industrial machinery manufacturing.
