Nylon is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastic resins.  Its combination of physical properties versus its price make it a favorite choice for numerous applications.  Nylon’s toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength and lubricity make it a good choice for many mechanical parts.  It has a consistent history of replacing other materials including: metal, brass, bronze, aluminum and rubber.  In replacing metal gears in machinery, Nylon can be advantageous because of its ability to reduce noise, use less lubrication and increase gear life.
