PA6 (polyamide 6 / nylon) is a durable technical engineering plastic with high mechanical strength, good toughness and good sliding properties. The material is widely used for machine components that are exposed to stress, friction and wear.

Properties and uses

PA6 combines high strength and toughness with good wear resistance. The material has good sliding and damping properties and is therefore well suited for a variety of moving machine components.

PA6 absorbs more moisture than POM-C, among others. The moisture content can affect both dimensions and mechanical properties, and this should be taken into account when choosing materials and designing components with tight tolerances.

Machined parts in PA6

PA6 is used for, among other things, bushings, bearings, slide rails, guides, rollers, gears and other machine components where wear resistance and mechanical load are important properties.

Scanco can supply CNC machined parts in PA6 according to drawing or 3D model, both as individual components and series. Machining is carried out in our own workshop.

Semi-finished product

We supply PA6 as semi-finished products in various dimensions and designs. Please contact us if you need material for your own production or finished machined components.
