Nylatron/Nylon
Nylon is a versatile family of plastics known as polyamides. These materials are defined by amide groups (commonly referred to as CONH) and encompass a broad spectrum of types and grades, including Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Nylatron GS, and Nylatron GSM. Each grade possesses unique properties and applications.
Nylon serves as an effective substitute for bronze, aluminum, steel, and other metals, particularly in bearing and wear applications. As a material, it exhibits exceptional wear resistance, high tensile strength, and a high heat distortion temperature.
This post will explore the similarities and differences between Nylatron GS and Nylatron GSM.
Comparing Nylatron GS and Nylatron GSM
Nylatron® GS is a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) filled nylon that provides enhanced strength and rigidity. With a reduced coefficient of linear thermal expansion, Nylatron GS components maintain better fit and clearance. They are also less likely to seize when used as bearings. Their operating temperature range spans from -20°C to +95°C (-20°C to +70°C in water).
At Ai Plastics, we offer Nylatron GS in rod and sheet forms, tailored to your specific dimensions. Rod diameters range from 12mm to 50mm. To learn more, download our data sheet.
Nylatron® GSM incorporates finely dispersed molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) particles, which improve its load-bearing capacity while preserving the inherent impact resistance of nylon. This grade is widely used in applications such as gears, sheaves, sprockets, and custom parts. Their temperature range extends from -30°C to +105°C (-30°C to +70°C in water). For additional details, download our data sheet.
At Ai Plastics, we supply Nylatron GSM in both rod and sheet formats. Rod sizes range from 50mm to 200mm, while sheets are available in thicknesses from 10mm to 60mm.

Guide Ring is a mechanical seal, also known as a guide ring. It is usually made of metal or plastic and used to support and position pistons or rods. Guide Ring has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively reduce leakage and friction, thereby extending equipment life. Guide Ring is widely used in the hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and automotive industries as an important mechanical seal.
The classification of Guide Ring can be divided by material, structure, and purpose. According to material classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into metal Guide Rings and plastic Guide Rings. Metal Guide Rings are usually made of metals such as copper, iron, and stainless steel, which have high strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance; The plastic Guide Ring is usually made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, polyimide and other materials, with good corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient.
According to structural classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into unidirectional Guide Rings and bidirectional Guide Rings. A unidirectional guide ring can only withstand pressure in one direction and is typically used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems; The bidirectional guide ring can withstand bidirectional pressure and is typically used in the mechanical and automotive industries.
According to usage classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into piston Guide Rings and rod Guide Rings. The piston guide ring is usually used to support and position the piston, preventing friction and leakage between the piston and the cylinder liner; The rod guide ring is used to support and position the rod, preventing friction and leakage between the rod and the seal.
