Cast PA6 (Kestamid) Rod
Plastic in rod form developed for heavy conditions with high mechanical strength, superior toughness, and high load-bearing capacity.
Product Description
Cast PA6 (Cast Polyamide) rods are semi-finished products developed for engineering applications operating under severe conditions, thanks to their high mechanical strength, superior toughness, and high load-bearing capacity. Due to their production via casting methods, low internal stress and a homogeneous structure are achieved.
Cast PA6 rods are preferred especially in the production of parts with thick cross-sections requiring high strength. Offering higher performance compared to extruded PA6, they provide reliable and long-lasting solutions in systems operating under heavy loads.
Material Properties
Cast PA6 rods can be optimized for different application needs thanks to their additivable structure. Performance can be enhanced with oil-filled, MoS2-filled, and heat-stabilized variants.
Technical Features and Advantages
Very High Mechanical Strength
Provides stable performance and power transmission under heavy loads.
High Toughness
Exhibits superior resistance against impacts and demanding conditions.
High Wear Resistance
Minimizes wear in long-term industrial uses.
Low Internal Stress
educes the risk of post-machining deformation and warping.
Dimensional Stability
Ensures precision by maintaining its form even in thick cross-sections.
Good Machinability
Offers a highly suitable structure for CNC and machining.
Technical Performance and Application Behavior
Cast PA6 rods provide high performance, especially in rotating and sliding mechanical systems. Thanks to the combination of low friction and high strength, they reduce wear and extend part life. The low internal stress structure minimizes the risk of cracking, warping, and deformation during and after machining. This feature provides a significant advantage in the production of parts requiring tight tolerances.
Application Areas
Cast PA6 rods are widely used in heavy industry applications requiring high load and wear resistance.
