PA6G OIL Sheet (Oil-Filled Cast Polyamide) is a self-lubricating engineering plastic sheet offering very low friction, high wear resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. It is widely used for bushings, bearings, sliders, gears, and CNC-machined components in industrial machinery requiring smooth motion and long service life.
What is PA6G OIL Sheet?
PA6G OIL Sheet is an oil-filled, cast polyamide grade produced by incorporating a controlled
amount of lubricant into the material structure during the casting process. This formulation
creates internal self-lubrication, significantly reducing friction and wear in moving
components.
As a result, PA6G OIL Sheet delivers stable performance and extended service life in applications
involving continuous motion, sliding contact, and repetitive mechanical loads.
Engineering properties of PA6G OIL Sheet
- Self-lubricating behavior: Reliable performance even without external lubrication.
- Very low coefficient of friction: Ideal for continuous sliding and rotating motion.
- Excellent wear resistance: Extended service life in abrasion-prone applications.
- High dimensional stability: Well suited for precision CNC-machined components.
- Balanced strength and stiffness: Suitable for structural and load-guiding parts.
- Lower moisture absorption than PA6: More stable performance in humid environments.
Typical applications of PA6G OIL Sheet
- Low-friction bushings and bearings
- Sliding liners, guides, and wear plates
- Industrial gears and rotating rings
- Sliding and guiding surfaces
- Precision CNC-machined components
- Packaging, food processing, and industrial machinery parts

Frequently asked questions about PA6G OIL Sheet
Does PA6G OIL Sheet require external lubrication?
In many applications, external lubrication is not required, as the internal oil provides
effective self-lubrication.
Is PA6G OIL suitable for industrial bushings?
Yes. It is one of the preferred materials for low-friction bushings and bearings.
Where does PA6G OIL perform best?
It performs exceptionally well in sliding, rotating, and continuously moving applications,
especially where lubrication is limited.
