Precision Nylatron Washers Manufactured in the UK
Bluemay Weston manufactures precision Nylatron washers to standard and bespoke specifications for customers across a wide range of industries. Produced using our punching and water jet cutting capabilities, Nylatron washers can be supplied in small development quantities through to high-volume production runs.
Nylatron is a high-performance nylon engineering material valued for its strength, toughness, wear resistance and low-friction characteristics. These properties make Nylatron washers a practical choice for mechanical, industrial, automotive, aerospace, marine and general engineering applications where a durable non-metallic washer is required.
Strong, Wear-Resistant Engineering Nylon Washers
Nylatron washers offer a useful combination of mechanical strength, toughness and resistance to wear. The material is often selected where a strong, low-friction washer is required for spacing, separation, bearing-style or thrust washer applications.
Depending on the Nylatron grade selected, the material can provide improved performance compared with standard nylon in demanding wear and load-bearing applications. Nylatron washers are frequently specified where a lightweight, non-metallic alternative to metal is required within moving or mechanically loaded assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nylatron Washers
Nylatron washers are used in applications where mechanical strength, wear resistance, low friction or durable non-metallic spacing is required. They are commonly found in mechanical assemblies, industrial machinery, automotive components, aerospace components, marine applications and general engineering uses.
Nylatron is a recognised family of high-performance nylon engineering materials. Different grades are available, with properties suited to wear resistance, low friction, toughness, mechanical strength and load-bearing applications.
Yes. Nylatron washers are often selected for wear-resistant applications where a durable nylon washer is required. The final performance will depend on the grade selected, load, movement, temperature and operating environment.
Yes. Nylatron can be suitable for moving or sliding assemblies where low friction and wear resistance are required. It is often considered for bearing-style washers, thrust washers and mechanical spacing applications.
The temperature range of Nylatron washers depends on the specific grade selected and the application conditions. Some grades are designed for improved performance at elevated temperatures, but the material should always be checked against the required load, temperature and operating environment.
Nylatron can offer resistance to some oils, greases and industrial environments, but chemical resistance depends on the specific grade and substance involved. Applications involving aggressive chemicals, acids, alkalis or prolonged moisture exposure should be reviewed before manufacture.
Yes. Bluemay Weston manufactures Nylatron washers in both standard and bespoke sizes. Components can be produced to customer drawings, dimensions or samples using punching and water jet cutting techniques.
Nylatron washers are made from high-performance nylon grades that can offer improved wear resistance, lower friction or better load-bearing performance compared with some standard nylon materials. The best option will depend on the grade, application and operating conditions.
Yes. Nylatron washers can be suitable for thrust washer and bearing-style applications where a strong, wear-resistant, non-metallic washer is required. The final design should take account of load, speed, friction, lubrication and temperature.
Bluemay Weston can manufacture Nylatron washers in quantities ranging from prototypes and small development batches through to high-volume production runs of many thousands or millions of components, depending on customer requirements.
