Description
60mm Diameter Black Acetal Round Rod: A High-Performance Engineering Plastic
The 60mm diameter black acetal round rod is a top-tier engineering material widely recognised for its outstanding mechanical properties and versatility. Made from POM-C grade acetal (also known as polyoxymethylene or Delrin®), this plastic is prized for its high strength, low friction, and excellent machinability, making it a popular choice in a wide range of industrial applications.
Material and Grade
This acetal rod is constructed from POM-C, a high-performance engineering plastic known for its exceptional dimensional stability and rigidity. POM-C is an excellent choice for precision parts due to its low moisture absorption and consistent mechanical performance across varying environmental conditions. This material provides a great alternative to metal components where weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency are essential.
Strength and Machinability
One of the standout characteristics of this acetal round rod is its high strength and durability. It can withstand heavy loads and resist wear and tear, even in demanding environments. Additionally, its low coefficient of friction makes it ideal for components that require smooth, repetitive motion, such as bearings, gears, and conveyor systems. The material is easy to machine, allowing for clean cuts and precision when shaping parts.
Corrosion Resistance
The good corrosion resistance of this acetal rod makes it suitable for use in various environments, including those where moisture or chemicals are present. Unlike metals, it does not rust or corrode, providing a longer lifespan in applications such as water treatment facilities, automotive parts, and electrical insulators.
Dimensions and Weight
With a 60mm diameter and a weight of 4.18kg per metre, this acetal round rod offers a solid yet lightweight option for many applications. Its uniformity and precision make it perfect for parts requiring consistent dimensions, such as rollers, spacers, and bushings. The rod’s manageable weight allows for easy handling and installation in industrial or mechanical settings.
Finish and Aesthetic
The rod features a black finish, which not only enhances its appearance but also provides a non-marking surface that is less likely to show wear over time. The sleek black colour adds an element of professionalism and visual appeal, particularly in high-visibility environments such as workshops or manufacturing plants.
Applications
The 60mm black acetal round rod is highly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications, including:
- Mechanical Components: Ideal for creating precision parts such as gears, bushings, and bearings.
- Automotive Industry: Used for components that require low friction and high durability.
- Industrial Equipment: Suitable for conveyor systems, rollers, and other parts subjected to wear.
- Food Processing: POM-C’s low moisture absorption and ease of cleaning make it ideal for food-grade applications.
- Electrical Insulators: With good dielectric properties, this acetal rod is used in electrical engineering for insulative components.
Conclusion
The 60mm diameter black acetal round rod combines the strength, durability, and machinability needed for industrial and mechanical applications. Its POM-C grade plastic offers excellent performance in environments where corrosion resistance and low friction are essential, making it a versatile and valuable material for precision components across multiple sectors.
