PA6-CF10 Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon Composite Material:

PA6-CF10 is a high-performance engineering plastic composed of a nylon 6 matrix reinforced with 10% carbon fibers. Utilizing proprietary dispersion technology, the carbon fibers are uniformly distributed within the polymer structure. This innovative material retains nylon’s exceptional wear resistance and processing versatility while achieving metal-like mechanical strength and dimensional stability, establishing it as a core material solution for industrial lightweighting initiatives.

Application Case: Robotic Joint Gears

PA6-CF10 significantly enhances impact toughness (+40% vs. short-fiber nylon) through optimized fiber-matrix interfacial bonding while retaining nylon’s inherent electrical insulation. Compatible with laser marking and ultrasonic welding, it streamlines secondary processing and reduces overall manufacturing costs.

Traditional Metal Gear Challenges:

1. Excessive weight → Increased robotic arm load

2. Lubricant contamination → Damages precision workpieces

3. Operational noise >85 dB → Disrupts work environment

PA6-CF10 Solution Results:

• 60% weight reduction → 18% lower energy consumption

• Self-lubricating maintenance-free → 20,000-hour service life (eliminating oil contamination)

• 12 dB noise reduction → Quieter production environment

• Precision retention → <0.05mm profile error after 5,000 operational hours

Documented Outcomes (Automotive parts factory):

• Annual energy savings: 2,100 kWh/robot

• Maintenance costs reduced by 70%

• Defect rate decreased by 0.3%
