Top 5 Differences Between More Traditional Extruded Nylon and Cast Nylon Thomas Cipriani – Product Specialist at Robco 5 – A cast nylon material inherently has less stress than extruded nylon , which then allows it to handle higher levels of impact 4- Lower moisture absorption gives cast nylon a higher dimensional stability than extruded nylon which then allows it to be used in more humid applications with less concern for dimensional change which would then change the characteristics of the nylon 3 – The more crystalline structure of cast nylon gives it a higher strength than extruded nylon therefore allowing it to have a higher tensile, flexural and compressive resistance 2 – Cast nylon is available in smaller diameter rod than extruded nylon is when looking at premium bearing grades therefore giving you more dimensional options for rods 1 – Cast nylon has a 20 degree higher operating temperature than extruded nylon allowing it to handle hi...
