Tolerance information

PA6 Machining Tolerances

Polyamide 6 (PA6 / Nylon 6) machining tolerances depend on:

  • Component geometry
  • Wall thickness
  • Part size and complexity
  •  Moisture absorption considerations
  • Operating conditions
  • Application requirements

PA6 is suitable for machined industrial components, but tolerance planning must consider material movement, load conditions, and moisture absorption. Typical achievable tolerances are maintained as per design feasibility, with tighter tolerances possible for precision parts after engineering evaluation.

Detailed tolerance information can be provided during the RFQ stage.
