POLYAMIDE - PA6

ENGINEERING PLASTIC

At ANKRO, we offer high-quality PA6 plastic products, also known as nylon or polyamide 6. This versatile plastic is renowned for its excellent properties and wide range of applications, making it indispensable across various industries. Our PA6 products are designed to meet our customers' specific needs, focusing on quality and precision.

WHAT IS POLYAMIDE?

Polyamide, better known as Nylon, is a versatile plastic celebrated for its impressive properties. In engineering and dynamic applications, Polyamide stands out for its exceptional wear resistance and excellent sliding and rolling characteristics. But this robust plastic offers much more.

Polyamide combines hardness and stiffness with remarkable sound-dampening properties, making it ideal for noise reduction applications. Additionally, it is tough and highly machinable, adapting easily to diverse applications.

A notable feature of Polyamide is its ability to optimize properties through additives. For instance, oil-filled Polyamide provides integral lubrication in dynamic applications, reducing friction and extending component lifespan.

In addition to "Polyamide," this plastic is known by various names and comes in different types, such as PA6, oil-filled PA6+, Ertalon, Nylon 6, PA 12, PA66, Akulon, Ultramid, Zytel, and Nylatron.

MACHINING PA6

One of the most common methods for machining PA plastics is machining. For PA6, this is usually done through milling, turning, drilling, or other machining techniques. This allows for the production of custom-made products that precisely meet customer requirements. Depending on the specific product, the appropriate machining technique is selected. Milling a PA6 sheet is typically done through milling.

At ANKRO, we understand the value of precise polyamide machining. For over 25 years, our experienced professionals have utilized their expertise and advanced machinery to create the most complex PA6 plastic products that meet our customers' specific demands.

THE PROPERTIES OF PA6

PA6 distinguishes itself with unique properties compared to other plastics. Even under heavy loads and demanding conditions, PA6 maintains its quality. Some features of PA6 include:

  • Chemical resistance: PA6 plastic withstands high loads and deformation due to its high tensile and flexural strength.
  • Excellent wear resistance: Its low coefficient of friction ensures high wear resistance, making PA6 ideal for dynamic applications with moving parts.
  • Good electrical insulation: For applications requiring electrical insulation, PA6 provides an excellent solution.
  • Dimensional stability: Polyamide exhibits minimal shrinkage and deformation, even when exposed to high temperatures.
  • Easy machining: PA6 can be easily machined using various machining techniques.

With these properties, PA6 is a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of industrial applications. At ANKRO, we are ready to fulfill your specific needs with customized polyamide solutions.

MILLING POLYAMIDE

Polyamide, a thermoplastic polymer, is ideal for milling. Known as PA6 or Nylon, this material is tough and durable, making it ideal for precision machining. One of the great advantages of milling Polyamide is its versatility. The material can be milled in various thicknesses and sizes, suitable for both small and large plastic products. Additionally, Polyamide offers more possibilities:

  • Producing custom parts with CAD/CAM software controlling CNC milling machines.
  • Adding functional features to Polyamide products.

When milling PA6 Nylon, it is crucial to monitor the correct cutting parameters, such as feed rate, cutting speed, and milling angle, accurately. With the right parameters, optimal machining can be achieved, minimizing the risk of material damage or deformation.

TURNING PA6

Turning PA6 enables the production of various round products, such as bushings, flanges, rings, and shafts. Thanks to the precision of CNC turning machines at ANKRO, complex tolerances can be achieved that meet customer requirements. An additional benefit of turning PA6 is the ability to perform operations such as threading and drilling.

During the turning of PA6 Nylon, it is important to consider the material properties. PA6 tends to deform when heated, which can result in deviations from the desired tolerances. Using suitable cooling lubricants can reduce the thermal impact on the material, ensuring precise machining.
