Ensinger Tecast Vekton™ 6PAM MoS2-Filled Cast Nylon 6 (PA6)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, MoS2 Filled

Material Notes: Tecast® 6PAM is a molybdenum disulfide-filled cast nylon 6 used for general bearings and wear applications and for its superior strength and hardness.

General Tecast® Cast Nylon Information: Tecast cast nylon, available in a variety of grades, offers a combination of good mechanical properties, excellent bearing and wear characteristics, and the large-size capabilities of the casting process. Its fatigue resistance, noise damping ability, corrosion resistance, and light weight make Tecast ideal for metal replacement applications, such as bearings, gears, sheaves, and sprockets. At one-eight the weight of bronze, Tecast is easier to handle and maintain than metals such as iron, aluminum, brass, and bronze, which it typically replaces in industrial wear applications. Other materials that Tecast commonly replaces because of its superior performance are laminated phenolics, elastomers, and wood. Tecast has excellent wear and abrasion resistance, resulting in extended component life and lower maintenance cost. Its formulations are readily available in rod, plate, and tube. Nonstandard shapes, such as rings, discs, and blocks can be economically produced in small quantities with short lead times. Custom parts can be cast-size or near-net-shape with relatively inexpensive tooling.

General Tecast® Application Information: Its unique combination of strength, wear resistance, toughness, machinability, and corrosion resistance make Tecast cast nylon ideal for bearings, thrust washers, bushings, wear pads, sheaves, rollers, gears, sprockets, and wheels. Tecast is commonly used in construction equipment, material handling systems, amusement park rides, pulp and paper processing equipment, steel mills and industrial equipment.
