Material Introduction
PA66 CF30 Thermoplastics are engineering-grade composites combining polyamide 66 (PA66) with 30% carbon fiber reinforcement. This advanced material delivers exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and lightweight properties, making it ideal for high-performance robot grippers in industrial automation, logistics, and collaborative robotics. The carbon fiber enhancement addresses traditional polymer limitations while retaining injection-molding compatibility for complex geometries.
Why PA66 CF30 Thermoplastics Excels in Robot Gripper Applications?
1. Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio
-
Tensile Strength: 210–230 MPa (ISO 527) – 50% stronger than glass-filled nylon, ensuring durability under repetitive gripping cycles.
-
Density: 1.38 g/cm³ – 40% lighter than aluminum, reducing robotic arm inertia and energy consumption.
2. Enhanced Stiffness & Dimensional Stability
-
Flexural Modulus: 12–14 GPa (ISO 178) – minimizes deflection during heavy payload handling (e.g., 10–20 kg).
-
Moisture Absorption: <1.5% (ISO 62) – outperforms unfilled PA66 (2.5%), critical for humid or washdown environments.
3. Thermal & Chemical Resistance
-
HDT (1.82 MPa): 255°C (ISO 75) – withstands heat from adjacent motors or friction.
-
Chemical Resistance: Resists oils, coolants, and UV degradation (ASTM D543), ensuring longevity in factories.
4. Fatigue & Wear Performance
-
Impact Strength: 80–100 kJ/m² (ISO 179) – absorbs shocks from accidental drops.
-
PV Limit: 3.0 MPa·m/s – reduces wear in sliding contact parts (e.g., adjustable gripper jaws).
5. Precision Moldability
-
Warpage: <0.2% – enables tight-tolerance gripper fingers (<0.1 mm gap).
-
Thin-Wall Capability: Moldable down to 1.5 mm – optimizes weight without sacrificing rigidity.
PA66 CF30 Thermoplastics are the optimal choice for robot grippers demanding lightweight robustness, thermal resilience, and precision. Its carbon fiber reinforcement provides unmatched strength for high-cycle applications, while its polymer matrix ensures cost-effective manufacturability. For grippers handling metal parts, automotive components, or medical devices, PA66 CF30 Thermoplastics outperforms metals and standard polymers, balancing performance with design flexibility.
Surface Resistivity Comparison
Conductors < 10⁵ Ω/sq. Antistatic Materials 10⁵ ~ 10¹² Ω/sq. Insulators > 10¹² Ω/sq. Static-Dissipative 10⁶ ~ 10¹¹ Ω/sq. *Key Influencing Factors Humidity: Increased moisture can reduce resistivity (e.g., in polymers). Temperature: Affects carrier mobility (↑ heat may lower semiconductor resistivity). Surface Contamination: Dust/oils alter readings significantly. Additives: Carbon black, metallic fillers can lower resistivity. *Applications Electronics: Antistatic materials (10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq) prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Aerospace: Composites must control resistivity to avoid charge buildup. Medical Devices: Insulating materials (>10¹² Ω/sq) ensure patient safety. *Examples Polypropylene (PP): ~10¹⁶ Ω/sq (excellent insulator). Carbon Fiber Composites: 10³–10⁶ Ω/sq (static dissipation). ESD Flooring: 10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq.
Get to Know Carbon Fibers
The table presents key performance data of carbon fiber grades. T300, with a tensile strength of 3530 MPa and a tensile modulus of 230 GPa, has a relatively low tensile elongation at break of 1.5% and a body density of 1.76 g/cm³. As the grade increases, for example, T700S shows an enhanced tensile strength of 4900 MPa compared to T300, while maintaining the same tensile modulus but with a higher elongation at break of 2.1%. T800S and T1000G both have a tensile modulus of 294 GPa, and their tensile strengths are 5880 MPa and 6370 MPa respectively. T1100G stands out with the highest tensile strength of 7000 MPa and a tensile modulus of 324 GPa. Generally, with the increase in product grade, the tensile strength and modulus tend to rise, while the density remains relatively stable around 1.8 g/cm³.
