POM Rods

POM Rods

Polyoxymethylene (POM) rods, commonly known as acetal or Delrin rods, are solid cylindrical bars.It is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its excellent combination of mechanical properties, low friction, and dimensional stability. 

POM rods are commonly used to manufacture precision mechanical components such as gears, bearings, bushings, and rollers due to their low friction and wear-resistant properties.

 

 

Some of the outstanding characteristics are as follows:

  • High Mechanical Strength
  • Low Friction Properties
  • Wear and Abrasion Resistance
  • Chemical Resilience
  • Dimensional Stability
  • Low Moisture Absorption
  • Thermal Insulation
  • Versatile Applications

Gear wheels with small modulus

Used in precision machinery where compact design and fine tooth engagement are required.

Cams

Employed in machinery to convert rotary motion into reciprocating, enabling precise control and synchronization of movements.

Heavily loaded bearings and rollers

Used in industrial equipment like mining machinery and construction equipment to support .

Bearing and gears with small clearances

Essential in precision engineering applications such as aerospace and medical devices.

Valve seats

Utilized in internal combustion engines and industrial valves to provide a sealing surface, enhancing fluid flow control.

Snap fit assemblies

Employed in consumer electronics and product packaging to securely and easily join components without need for fasterners.

Dimensionally stable precision parts

Crucial in optics ensuring accurate alignment and performance in telescopes.

Electrically insulating components

Vital in electronics to prevent electrical conduction and ensure safety, used in circuit boards, connectors.
