Nylon gasket description
Nylon gasket is a thin sheet mechanical component made of nylon (polyamide, PA) material, mainly used in mechanical assembly to provide support, cushioning, shock absorption, anti loosening, anti-corrosion, insulation, sealing, and isolation. The following is a detailed description of nylon gaskets:
------
1. Wear resistance
Nylon gaskets have high surface hardness and low friction coefficient, which can effectively reduce wear between mating parts and extend equipment life.
Example: Nylon gaskets can reduce friction losses during gear meshing in gearboxes.
2. Chemical corrosion resistance
It has good corrosion resistance to common chemical substances such as acid, alkali, salt, oil, and alcohol, and is suitable for environments such as chemical and food processing.
Comparison: Compared to metal gaskets, nylon gaskets are more stable in corrosive media.
3. Self lubrication
Nylon material itself has lubricating properties, which can reduce friction, noise, and energy consumption without the need for additional lubricants.
Application: Nylon gaskets can reduce frictional resistance during operation in bearings, chains, and other parts.
4. Insulation
Nylon gasket is an excellent electrical insulator, suitable for electronic devices, electrical cabinets and other occasions that require electrical isolation.
Data: The volume resistivity can reach 10 ¹²~10 ¹Ω· cm.
5. Temperature resistance
It can maintain stable performance within the temperature range of -40 ºC to 120 ºC (partially modified nylon can reach 150 ºC) and adapt to high or low temperature environments.
Attention: Long term high temperature may soften nylon, and materials should be selected according to actual working conditions.
6. Mechanical strength
Nylon gaskets have high tensile strength and impact resistance, can withstand certain pressure and vibration, and are not easily deformed or broken.
Example: In the engine compartment of a car, nylon gaskets can withstand high temperatures and vibrations without failure.
7. Lightweight
Nylon has a density of only about 1/7 of metal, which can reduce equipment weight and energy consumption.
Application: In aerospace, automotive and other fields, nylon gaskets help achieve lightweight design.
8. Processing capability
Nylon material is easy to shape through injection molding, extrusion, machining, and other methods, and can be processed into complex shapes to meet different design requirements.
Advantages: Mass production capability, low cost, short delivery cycle.
