1. What is MC nylon? And the characteristics of MC nylon?

MC nylon, also known as cast nylon, is made from molten caprolactam monomer C6H11NO under atmospheric pressure with alkaline substances as catalysts, together with activators and other additives to be polymerized monomer, which is directly injected into the mold preheated to a certain temperature, so that the material is quickly polymerized in the mold and condensed into a tough solid embryo, and then processed through the relevant technology to obtain the intended products. As one of the engineering plastics, MC nylon is "plastic instead of steel, excellent performance" and has a wide range of applications. It has a variety of unique properties such as light weight, high strength, self-lubrication, wear resistance, anti-corrosion, and insulation.

(1) High strength, able to withstand loads for a long time;

(2) good resilience, able to bend without deformation, while maintaining toughness, resistance to repeated impact;
(3) wear-resistant self-lubricating, providing better performance than bronze cast iron carbon steel and phenolic laminate in oil-free (or de-oiled) lubrication applications, reducing consumption and saving energy;
(4) noise absorption, vibration damping, MC nylon modulus is much smaller than metal, the attenuation of vibration is large, providing a practical way to prevent noise better than metal;
(5) Compared with metal, MC nylon hardness is low and does not damage to the wear parts.

MC nylon is used in a wide range of specific applications, such as turbines, gears, filaments, sliding guide plates, etc. on general machines. Heavy machinery such as mining machines, crushers on the bushings, chemical machinery on the connecting rod, bushings, Shaw, etc., water conservancy machinery on the impeller. Cooling tower on the sower, transportation vehicles on the piston rod, pressure machinery on the bee gasket, oil tank, sealing ring and instrumentation industry on the instrument, textile machinery on the groove barrel and so on.

2.What is MC nylon wheel? What are the characteristics of various MC nylon wheels?

MC nylon wheel in machinery as vibration and wear-resistant materials instead of non-ferrous metals and alloy steel, a 400 kg MC nylon products, its actual volume is equivalent to 2.7 tons of steel or 3 tons of bronze, the use of MC nylon parts, not only to improve the mechanical efficiency, reduce maintenance, and generally extend the service life of two or three times as much.

(1) Gears, worm gears

MC nylon for gears, worm gears have the advantage of light weight, fatigue resistance, shock absorption, good self-lubricating properties. For the fear of lubricant staining or can not often add lubricant parts, with MC nylon gear suitable, and does not hurt the corresponding gear or inline joints, low noise, in the textile, paper, printing, food machinery and other industrial applications, the effect is significant, the noise is only 1/4-1/2 of the steel parts.

(2) Slider

Heavy industry in the metal extension press, forging machine and other industrial machinery with MC nylon material for the slider, in the following advantages, long service life, change time and maintenance costs can be saved, a grease after a long period of time to maintain lubrication performance, impact fatigue resistance, vibration resistance, low noise, light weight, easy assembly, good wear resistance.

(3) Piston ring and support ring

MC nylon piston ring features: light weight: about 15% of the weight of bronze, reduce the loss of movement, save mechanical power, good sliding performance, static and dynamic friction coefficient difference is small, so there will be no sticky phenomenon like metal, good physical properties of foreign, can avoid the cylinder liner hair pulling, oil-free self-lubrication, good sealing, not easy to leak, long life, improve efficiency.

(4) Bushing, shaft tile, bearing

MC nylon for shaft parts have the following advantages: wear resistance, good self-lubricating properties, in the general thermoplastic has a high PV value. Friction coefficient is small, impact resistance, not easy to hold the shaft, fusion, do not hurt the journal, long lubrication cycle, reduce maintenance, adaptability to harsh environments, long life.

(5) Wheel rollers and rollers

Because MC nylon has the performance of drug resistance, wear resistance and self-lubrication, it is used to make rollers or as the outer sleeve of metal rollers for transmission guide rollers, reverse rollers, and swimming rollers, etc. MC nylon has a longer service life than other materials, easy processing, less refueling, and no oil leakage, no rust, oil and rust stains do not stain fibers.

(6) Other aspects

In addition to the above introduction, MC nylon far applied to many aspects, such as: mixer pallets, valve bodies, spool gaskets, insulating sleeves, guide plates, pulleys, etc., in the railroads have dynamic axle box liner, dynamic wheel spring hanger set, gear ring, crosshead slide shoe, rocker small end small square tile, etc., in the marine industry there are bearings, pump bearings, pulley slider, sprockets, handle anti-electricity, seals, etc..
