Durable Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 40mm Dia Solid Cast Round Bar

Premium Cast Nylon Rod for Large Gears, Bushes and Gear Racks

This durable natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 40mm dia, is made from cast polyamide 6, a grade with higher strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon. It works well in temperatures from 0°C to +90°C, and the cast nylon 6 range is food compliant, so it suits clean production areas as well as busy workshops.

Cast nylon is not as stressed as extruded nylon, so it machines better and finished parts stay true to size. Its characteristics are similar to extruded nylon 6.6, with good creep resistance and a long wear life under constant loads. As a lightweight alternative to metal, it can help reduce weight, noise and the need for regular lubrication.

• Gear racks
• Crane sheaves
• Boom pads

This solid round bar is easy to cut and turn into bushes and bearings, and it can be machined into large gears, gear racks, crane sheaves and boom pads to your own drawing. The hard, smooth surface slides well against steel and resists many oils, greases and common workshop chemicals, so upkeep stays low.

Engineers and maintenance teams choose this rod for lifting equipment, drive parts and sliding assemblies that need a long service life. The natural colour makes marking out and inspection simple. Order the length you need and start machining.
