Product Description

PA1010 Nylon Rod for Wear-Resistant and Dimensionally Stable Components

PA1010 Nylon Rod is a long-chain polyamide round bar designed for machined components that require good toughness, wear resistance, relatively low moisture absorption and stable performance in changing industrial environments. Compared with common PA6 and PA66 materials, PA1010 is often selected when lower water absorption, better dimensional stability and smoother running performance are required.

This material combines good mechanical strength with toughness, sliding performance and resistance to many oils and common industrial media. It is suitable for turning and machining into bushings, rollers, guide parts, wear parts, insulating components and other industrial plastic parts used in machinery, automation and conveying systems.

For additional polyamide rod materials and standard nylon grades, please visit our Polyamide PA and Nylon Rod page. For finished machined components, please visit our CNC Plastic Machining page.

PA1010 belongs to the nylon (polyamide) family of engineering plastics. General information about nylon is available from Wikipedia’s Nylon explanation.

Main Features of PA1010 Nylon Rod

  • Lower moisture absorption than many common nylon grades such as PA6 and PA66
  • Good dimensional stability in humid or changing environments
  • Good toughness and impact resistance
  • Good wear resistance for moving and contact parts
  • Good sliding performance for many friction applications
  • Lower operating noise than many metal components
  • Lightweight and corrosion resistant
  • Good electrical insulation under suitable conditions
  • Suitable for CNC turning, milling, drilling and boring
  • Available in multiple reference diameters and custom machining forms

Typical Applications

PA1010 Nylon Rod can be machined into many industrial components, including:

  • Bushings and bearing sleeves
  • Guide rollers and support rollers
  • Spacer sleeves and distance rings
  • Guide blocks and sliding blocks
  • Wear pads and anti-wear components
  • Gears and sprockets
  • Pulleys and sheaves
  • Electrical insulation parts
  • Conveyor and transfer system components
  • Automation equipment parts
  • Packaging machinery components
  • General custom nylon machined parts

This material is often used when the customer needs a nylon rod that offers a balanced combination of toughness, wear performance and reduced sensitivity to moisture compared with general-purpose nylon grades.

Size notice: The dimensions above are reference sizes taken from the supplied image and are intended for product presentation only. They do not represent guaranteed stock availability. Actual diameter, length, material grade, color, machining allowance, straightness and tolerance should be confirmed before production.

Different diameters may involve different production methods, lead times and minimum order quantities. Finished parts can also be produced according to customer drawings, physical samples and equipment requirements.

CNC Machining of PA1010 Nylon Rod

PA1010 Nylon Rod can be processed by CNC turning, milling, drilling, boring, cutting, grooving, tapping and chamfering. Our CNC Plastic Machining service supports both sample making and batch production according to drawings, samples and working conditions.

During machining, suitable tools and cutting parameters should be selected according to the rod diameter, part structure and tolerance requirements. Heat buildup should be controlled to reduce burrs, dimensional drift and surface deformation.

Although PA1010 generally has lower moisture absorption than PA6 and PA66, environmental temperature, humidity and service load can still influence dimensional behavior. Precision parts should therefore be designed with suitable machining allowances and assembly clearances.

Material Selection Notes

  • PA1010 is different from PA6, PA66 and cast MC nylon.
  • Color and appearance alone cannot fully confirm the exact material grade.
  • The original resin grade and technical requirements should be confirmed before production.
  • Wear performance and service life depend on load, speed, lubrication and mating material.
  • For high-precision applications, moisture, temperature and installation tolerance should be considered in advance.
  • Special colors, reinforced grades and modified formulations may require separate confirmation.
  • Electrical, food-contact or other regulated applications require grade-specific confirmation and documentation.

PA1010 Nylon Rod is a practical engineering plastic solution for customers who need a machinable nylon material with good toughness, wear resistance and improved dimensional stability for industrial and custom machined components.

Quality Control

Quality Control and Delivery Standards

Drawing & Material Check

Check drawings for full specifications and confirm materials according to service conditions to prevent product defects.

Machining Quality Control

Inspect all key processing steps and fully verify dimensions, holes, grooves and fitting surfaces.

Finishing & Batch Control

Deburr, chamfer and clean products for easy installation. Ensure uniform quality among batch products.

Packaging & Delivery

Choose appropriate packaging solutions based on product features to protect goods from collision, deformation and mixing during transit.

Processing Quality Control of Engineering Plastics Parts

Unlike metal parts, engineering plastic components still require strict control over dimensions, holes, edges, surface, materials and assembly performance for equipment use.
