Nylon Bushing is a bearing part made of nylon material, usually used in mechanical equipment, to reduce friction, buffer, sound insulation, insulation, corrosion protection, etc. It is often installed between metal parts to play the role of "lining" or "sleeve".
1. Characteristics of nylon bushings:
Good self-lubrication
Nylon has a low friction coefficient, which can reduce the use of lubricants and is suitable for light load and low-speed operation.
Strong wear resistance
Not easy to be damaged in long-term friction, extending the life of parts.
Light weight
The density is only 1/7~1/8 of that of metal, reducing the weight of the whole machine.
Good corrosion resistance
Can resist corrosive media such as acid, alkali, salt, oil, water, etc., suitable for harsh environments.
Shock absorption and sound insulation
The material has good elasticity, can buffer mechanical vibration and reduce noise.
Good processing performance
Easy to injection molding or turning, flexible shape, and controllable size.
Strong electrical insulation
Applicable to electrical equipment to avoid conductive short circuits.
2. Common application areas:
Industrial machinery (such as bearing bushings, guide sleeves)
Automotive parts (such as brake systems, transmission system components)
Agricultural machinery
Construction equipment
Electrical/electronic equipment (isolation protection)
3. Common nylon material types:
PA6 (nylon 6): good overall performance, low price, often used in general occasions.
PA66 (nylon 66): higher strength, better heat resistance, suitable for parts with high mechanical strength requirements.
Oil-containing nylon (self-lubricating nylon): Add lubricants to the material to further improve the self-lubricating performance.
