Cast Nylon (Tecast Vekton®)Tecast Vekton® cast nylon, available in a variety of grades offers a good combination of good mechanical properties, execellent bearing and wear characteristics and the large-size capabilities of the casting process. Its fatigue resistance, noise dampening ability, corrosion resistance and light weight make Tecast Vekton ideal for metal replacement applications such as bearings, gears, sheaves and sprockets. At one-eighth the weight of bronze, Tecast Vekton is easier to handle and maintain than metals such as iron, aluminum, brass and bronze, which is typically replaces in industrial wear applications. Other materials that cast nylon replaces because of its superior performance are laminated phenolics, elastomers and wood. Tecast Vekton 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. Non-standard shapes such as rings, discs, blocks and other near-net shapes can be economically produced in small quantities with short lead times. Custom parts can be cast-to-size with relatively inexpensive tooling.
The following standard grades are available
Tecast Vekton® 6PA Natural
An FDA compliant type 6 cast nylon used in applications requiring cast nylon advantages without fillers. Tecast Vekton® 6PA Black
A black type 6 cast nylon with better UV properties that 6PA natural Tecast Vekton® 6PA Blue
Blue type 6 cast nylon with similar properties to 6PA natural Tecast Vekton® 6PAM
A molybdenum disulfide-filled type 6 cast nylon used for general bearings and wear applications because of its superior strength and hardness. Tecast Vekton® 6PAG
A graphite powder filled type 6 cast nylon with properties similar to 6PAM, but better suited to wet applications. Tecast Vekton® 6XAU
A high heat (up to 260 degrees F continuous), weather resistant type 6 cast nylon with superior fatigue-resistance and bearing properties. Tecast Vekton® 6PAL
An oil-filled type 6 cast nylon used in applications requiring excellent bearing ad wear properties where external lubrication is difficult or impractable. This grade also enhances dimensional stability by reducing moisture absorption. Tecast Vekton® Tecaglide
A high performance grade of type 6 cast nylon that has an internal lubricant as well as superior wear and impact properties.
