Nylon Pillars

Shock Resistance

The innovative design of the G&B brass insert makes the standoff inherently resistant to shock from incidents that typically cause inferior products to fail, for example vibration is use, movement in transit, accidental falls etc. The exceptional strength and resilience of our Nylon Pillars come from a combination of the solid body style and the location of the insert within the body. To date, we have never known a G&B-designed insert to disengage from the nylon body in any practical application.

As part of our development strategy, we continue to monitor plastics materials but currently insist upon deploying only the highest grade virgin Nylon 6 to deliver the superior characteristics you expect from G&B.

Insulation

In many applications, the specification for a supporting standoff calls for electrical insulation properties. Clearly, metal pillars cannot deliver this while solid plastic pillars are rarely able to provide the required strength. The optimum solution is a Nylon Pillar. G&B Nylon Pillars offer excellent insulation characteristics, thanks to the solid nylon body that minimises flashover and eliminates the internal current tracking issues found in some hollow designs. Mechanical resilience under compression comes from the high grade Nylon 6 material we deploy, while superior strength under tension is a function of our innovative insert design.
