High Quality Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 45mm Dia Solid Cast Bar

Lightweight Cast Polyamide Rod for Gear Racks, Bearings and Boom Pads

This high quality natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 45mm dia, is made from cast polyamide 6. It gives higher strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon and works reliably in temperatures from 0°C to +90°C. The cast nylon 6 range is food compliant, so it suits hygienic areas as well as demanding industrial use.

Cast nylon is not as stressed as extruded nylon, so it machines better and finished parts hold their size. Its characteristics are similar to extruded nylon 6.6, with good creep resistance and a long wear life under steady loads. As a lightweight alternative to metal, this tough rod can help cut weight, noise and lubrication needs.

Boom pads

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

Fabricators and maintenance teams rely on this rod for lifting equipment, drive parts and sliding assemblies that need a long service life. The natural colour makes marking out and inspection easy. Choose the length you need and start machining.
