Usa Industrials BULK-PS-NYL-218 Nylon 6/6 Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-NYL-218 is a rectangular nylon 6/6 plastic bar stock used in machining, fabrication, and light structural applications across industrial and mechanical trades. Measuring 0.5 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 48 inches long, this bar ships in its natural, uncolored state. Nylon 6/6 offers a strong balance of rigidity, wear resistance, and low friction, making it a practical choice for cutting into custom bushings, wear pads, guides, spacers, and similar components. The bar weighs 3.14 pounds and is suited for both shop and field fabrication work.

This nylon bar stock is used across a wide range of applications including general machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing environments. Fabricators cut it to length for custom parts such as slide bearings, guide rails, insulators, and structural spacers. Its machinability allows it to be cut, drilled, turned, and milled with standard tooling. The natural color variant is the standard grade for general-purpose use where color coding or aesthetic requirements are not a factor.

Key Features

• Nylon 6/6 material offers good tensile strength, rigidity, and resistance to abrasion and wear
• Rectangular bar profile at 0.5 inches thick by 2 inches wide supports a wide range of cut-to-size applications
• 48-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple parts from a single bar
• Natural color indicates standard, unmodified nylon 6/6 grade without additives or fillers
• Machines cleanly with standard metalworking or woodworking tools including saws, mills, lathes, and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose nylon 6/6 bar stock suitable for machining custom components in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance fabrication applications where rectangular profile stock is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of nylon bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate personal protective equipment. Use sharp tooling and adequate feed rates to avoid melting or deforming the material during cutting operations. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. Finished components should be inspected for dimensional accuracy before installation in assemblies.
