1. Main features of nylon sliders:

Low friction coefficient

Nylon material has self-lubricating properties, smooth sliding and not easy to get stuck.

Strong wear resistance

Even in long-term repeated sliding, it can maintain good durability.

Shock reduction and noise reduction

It has good absorption capacity for mechanical shock and vibration, and runs more quietly.

Light weight

It is 1/7~1/8 of metal, reducing the overall weight of the equipment.

Corrosion resistance

Resistant to most acids, alkalis, salts and water vapor, not easy to rust, suitable for outdoor or humid environments.

Good mechanical strength

Especially reinforced nylon with glass fiber or lubricant added, has stronger bearing capacity.

Good electrical insulation performance

Can be used inside electrical equipment or contact parts of high-voltage equipment.

2. Common uses of nylon sliders:

Crane sliders (such as tower cranes, bridge crane guide sliders)

Mechanical guides (such as automated conveying equipment)

Elevator door sliders, electric window sliders

Industrial door or slide rail system

Guide sliders on injection molds

Buffer/load-bearing sliders in hydraulic machinery

Food or medical equipment (using food-grade nylon)

3. Design/use suggestions:

If used for metal guide rails, low-friction, high-wear-resistant nylon varieties (such as oil-containing or MoS₂-added nylon) should be selected;

The slider size must ensure moderate preload, too tight and easy to get stuck, too loose and easy to shake;

For high-load applications, it is recommended to use glass fiber reinforced nylon with strong load-bearing capacity;

It can be combined with metal inserts or nut nesting to improve installation strength and positioning accuracy;

If the operating temperature is >100℃, heat-resistant modified nylon should be used or replaced with other engineering plastics (such as POM, PTFE).
