Delrin/Polyacetal Rods

Delrin/Polyacetal Rods

Product Description

Polyacetal (POM) sheets and rods are among the strongest and stiffest of all thermoplastics. Plastic materials are characterized by good fatigue life, low moisture sensitivity, and high resistance to solvents and chemicals. Polyacetal products also contain good electrical properties. Homo-polymer and Copolymer grade of Polyacetal are available including an enhanced bearing grade material.

Polyacetal – POM is a semi crystalline engineering plastic that is beneficial to engineering applications, and is suited to CNC machining.

Typical Application

  • Gear wheels with small modulus Cams
  • Heavily loaded bearings and rollers
  • Bearing and gears with small clearances
  • Valve seats
  • Snap fit assemblies
  • Snap fit assemblies
  • Electrically Insulating Components

Features

  • High Mechanical Strength
  • Excellent Resilience
  • Excellent Machinability
  • Physiologically Inert (most grades are suitable for food contact)
