At YLcaster, we manufacture nylon caster wheels due to nylon’s exceptional mechanical properties, including:
High Resistance to Friction
Nylon is a strong, friction-resistant plastic, enabling smooth, effortless movement. Its abrasion resistance makes it ideal for heavy duty caster wheels, as it protects floors from marks and scratches.
High Tensile Strength
As one of the strongest synthetic plastics, nylon has excellent tensile strength, offering durability and resistance to wear and tear, which prevents damage from impacts.
High Elasticity
With 20-40% breaking extension and a 2.7 GPa modulus of elasticity, nylon is highly elastic. It retains strength and flexibility, even after long exposure to heat and sunlight, making it non-brittle.
High Temperature Resistance
Nylon’s high melting point of 268.8°C and its ability to withstand temperatures from -56°C to 121°C without losing integrity make it ideal for industrial use.
These qualities make nylon the perfect material for manufacturing durable, reliable caster wheels.
