Model: POM-4000
POM Rod
Features: Dia. 8mm ~ 200mm
Differences
Delrin Rod is a homopolymer grade,
this means that there are advantages and disadvantages over
Acetal Rod.
Advantages
Acetal Rod is more suited to the more mechanical
applications where an easy to machine and high quality surface finish is
required. It is potentially harder wearing than
Acetal and is often used in
the manufacture of gears or even motorcycle crash pegs.
Disadvantages
POM rod is not suitable for food contact
applications and has less resistance to chemical attack. It also has a
lower size range availability and can be slightly more expensive.
Applications
POM Rod is suitable for most non food and non
highly abrasive component applications. Because
POM does not absorb very
much moisture, it is an engineering plastic that will suit marine
applications as it also has a very low friction co-efficient and possesses
exceptional sliding abilities. POM is also very good for manufacturing
of many gears, because it is very good to machine and has mechanical
strength and provides long life and quiet operation.
