Due to its drug resistance, wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties, MC nylon is suitable for use as an outer liner for rollers or metal rollers, as well as for conveying guide rollers, reverse rollers, and floating rollers. MC nylon has a longer service life, easier processing, fewer refueling times, and is free from oil leakage, rust, oil stains, and rust stains, which will not contaminate fibers compared to other materials.
Using MC nylon to manufacture gear and worm gear transmission components can greatly reduce noise. Taking 400Kg air MC nylon hammer and concrete mixer as examples, the 400Kg air hammer (small) gear m=8, z=19, and the motor power is 40KW. The original phenolic based pressure plate was manufactured and used for about half a year, but later changed to MC nylon and iron skeleton structure. After 7 years of use, it was inspected and still undamaged. The small gear of the concrete mixer (m=10, z=20) has a motor power of 7KW. The original metal gear had high transmission noise and severe tooth surface wear. After switching to MC nylon gear, the transmission was stable, the noise was low, and the service life was over several decades.
Traditional pulleys are mostly made of cast iron or cast steel components. Although they have high load-bearing capacity, they have poor wear resistance and damage steel ropes. In addition, the cast steel pulley process is complex, and the actual cost is higher than that of MC nylon pulleys. Pulleys made of MC nylon have high strength and are easy to process. As long as the formula is suitable, pulleys with different performance requirements can also be made. By using MC nylon pulleys, the lifespan of the pulleys can be increased by 4-5 times, and the lifespan of the steel wire rope can be increased by 10 times. Compared with "metal pulleys" and "MC nylon pulleys", MC nylon pulleys can reduce the weight of the lifting arm and the head of the lifting arm by more than half, improve production efficiency, enhance the lifting function and overall mechanical performance, facilitate maintenance, disassembly, and oilless lubrication. Many foreign crane manufacturers, such as Liebherr in Germany and Kato in Japan, have used MC nylon pulleys since the 1970s. At present, the 12-125 seven level automotive cranes in China have been fully applied. Taking the LT40 automotive crane as an example, the use of MC nylon pulleys alone can save hundreds of thousands of yuan in maintenance costs for steel wire ropes and pulleys.
In engineering machinery, sliders are almost indispensable components, such as the sliders used for the support of the crane arm in automobiles. In the past, they were always made of brass. Now, after using MC nylon sliders, their service life has been increased by 4-5 times. MC nylon sliders have a long service life and can maintain lubrication performance for a long time after one-time refueling. At the same time, it also has advantages such as impact resistance, vibration resistance, fatigue resistance, low noise, light weight, convenient assembly, and wear resistance.
The use of MC nylon instead of copper and babbitt alloy to make various sizes of shaft sleeves, bearing shells, etc., is widely used in construction machinery. Features: Good wear resistance and self-lubricating performance, with a high PV value among current general thermoplastic materials; Low friction coefficient, impact resistant, less prone to shaft sticking, fusion, and no damage to the shaft neck; Long lubrication cycle, reduced maintenance, strong adaptability in harsh environments, and long service life. For example, the tension rope balance wheel axle sleeve of the WK-10 excavator has a size of φ two hundred ×φ one hundred and sixty × 160. ZQA19-4 material has always been used, but due to high dust during operation, poor lubrication conditions, and rapid wear of the shaft sleeve. After switching to MC nylon, based on its compressive strength, the theoretical calculation shows that it can bear a load of 288-345T, while the actual usage load is 140T. It has been used in the open air at an ambient temperature of 40-42 ℃ for many years, and after excavating 5.265 million tons of ore, it was found through disassembly inspection that the surface is flat and smooth, forming a good oil film, proving that there is basically no wear.
The characteristics of using MC nylon as piston rings are: light weight, reduced motion loss, and saved mechanical power; Good sliding performance, small difference in static and dynamic friction coefficients, so there is no stickiness like metal; Good performance in burying foreign objects and avoiding cylinder liner galling; Oil free self-lubricating, good sealing, less prone to oil leakage, long service life, and improved work efficiency. MC nylon support ring for hydraulic cylinder, at the Yangtze River Hydraulic Components Research Institute HSG63/35 × A life test was conducted on a 700 hydraulic cylinder test bench. Under high pressure and heavy load, after 170 hours of continuous impact for 320000 cycles, and a total reciprocating travel of 150 km, the durability and reliability were proven to be good, meeting the requirements of national standards.
In addition to the above introduction, MC nylon is applied in many aspects, such as mixer rollers, valve bodies, valve cores, ball valve gaskets, insulated MC nylon sleeves, guide plates, rubber blocking plates, etc; In terms of railways, there are axle boxes, lining plates, wheel springs, suspension sleeves, retaining rings, cross head pulleys, small square tiles at the small end of the rocker, etc; In the shipbuilding industry, there are bearings, rudder bearings, water pump bearings, water pump impellers, pulley sliders, sprockets, handles, anti electricity, seals, and so on.
The application range of MC nylon is becoming wider and more significant, and people have never realized it. From trial to application, they have gradually realized the excellence and importance of MC nylon application. MC nylon has achieved significant economic benefits.

What is polyamides or Nylon?
Polyamides or Nylon is a major high performance engineering thermoplastics class because of its good balance of properties, belong to plastic.
Material features of polyamide (PA) or nylon
What is the difference of PA6 and PA66 ?
Compared with PA6 , PA66 is more slightly less moitrue absorption ability, higher modulus, better wear resistance and heat resistance.
The process of nylon parts
Which process need to be used for your nylon parts ?
We could give you professional suggestion based on valuable cost according to your nylon spare parts.
Normally types of 3D printing could be used for trial items which can sometimes involve a lot of trial and error ;
Injection machining could be applied for small nylon parts with large quantity,such as fastener nylon spacer, nylon washer or gasets ;
