Material: MC® 901
Polyamide (Nylon Type 6 - Cast)
Nylon's toughness, low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance make it an ideal replacement for a wide variety of materials from metal to rubber. It
weighs only 1/7 as much as bronze. Using nylon reduces lubrication requirements, eliminates galling, corrosion and pilferage problems, and improves wear
resistance and sound dampening characteristics. Nylon has a proven record of outstanding service in a multitude of parts for such diverse fields as paper,
textiles, electronics, construction, mining, metalworking, aircraft, food and material handling. MC® 901 is Heat stabilized nylon offering long-term thermal
stability to 260°F. It is blue in color and used in a variety of bearing and structural applications such as wheels, gears, and custom parts.
