Oilon Rods
Further Information about Oilon Rods
Oilon rod is green cast nylon 6, which has been blended with a non-leech or drying out liquid lubricant. This is done as it increases sliding benefits and bearing life by up to 5 times, making Oilon rod exceptional where bearing lubrication is necessary.
Our manufacturers produce engineering plastics that are slightly oversize in either diameter and/or thickness. This oversize tolerance, which is listed in the tables below, is provided to assist customers to produce very accurate items within the size shown and remove any minor surface imperfection.

Summary:
Oilon rod is the really good green nylon product which has been blended with a highly effective oil based lubricant which dramatically increases its sliding, abrasion and wear resistant benefits. This engineering plastic has an incredible advantage in bearing life of up to 5 times over standard nylon. This makes Oilon rod exceptional for the most demanding applications and where bearing longevity, high abrasion, lubrication or access is important.
