What Is It?
NEXXALON™ Glass Filled Compound, chosen for cam components needing dimensional accuracy under repeated mechanical cycling.
How It's Manufactured
Glass fiber reinforcement is compounded into PA6 resin for the wear resistance and dimensional stability a cam profile needs.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Cams are injection molded to a precise profile, since the entire mechanism they drive depends on that profile holding its exact shape through millions of cycles.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A cam's function is entirely geometric — if its profile wears or deforms even slightly, the mechanism it drives loses timing accuracy — which is why dimensional stability under repeated cyclic load, not just raw strength, is the deciding property here.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Cams" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for cam component applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
