Material: Cast Nylon 6 Internally Lubricated - Nylatron® 703XL

Only nylon with ZERO stick slip allowing more precise, sensitive motion control. Comparative tests done by an independent research institute have established that Nylatron® 703XL has the lowest dynamic and static coefficient of friction of any commercial nylon. This results in good wear resistance and in many cases eliminates lubrication. Excellent mechanical and thermal properties.
