Polyamide (PA)
Material properties of polyamide (PA)
Polyamide round bars are used for a wide range of technical applications where high toughness, mechanical strength and good sliding and abrasion behaviour are required. Particularly worthy of mention here are the construction elements for drive technology such as gear wheels, slide bearings and rollers. Features of polyamides include:
- Good fatigue strength
- High mechanical damping capacity
- Good sliding and emergency running properties
- Very high wear resistance
- Good electrical insulation properties
- Good machinability
Polyamide round bars are known for their high mechanical strength and withstand repeated loading and unloading cycles without failure, which is crucial in dynamic applications. Their high mechanical damping capacity helps in reducing vibrations and noise, making them ideal for moving parts in machinery. Polyamide can easily be machined into various shapes, allowing for customized components.
