Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 120mm Dia Cast Polyamide Round Bar

Heavy Duty Cast Nylon Stock for Sheaves, Racks and Wear Pads

This natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 120mm dia, is solid bar stock made from cast polyamide 6. The casting process gives it greater strength, stiffness and surface hardness than extruded grades, and it performs reliably between 0°C and +90°C. It is also food compliant, so it can be used in clean production areas as well as on the workshop floor.

Cast nylon carries less internal stress, so parts keep their shape after cutting and finish cleanly on the lathe or mill. Its behaviour is close to extruded nylon 6.6, with dependable creep resistance and a long wear life under constant load. Replacing steel or bronze with this rod also cuts weight, noise and lubrication needs.

Because the rod is supplied in a solid round section, it suits turned parts such as rollers, wheels, wear rings and pulleys as well as flat components cut from the bar. Its smooth surface slides well against metal, and it resists many oils, greases and common workshop chemicals, which keeps maintenance low across its working life.

Engineers choose this rod for lifting equipment, transmission parts and sliding components that must last. The natural finish is easy to inspect and mark out before cutting. Order a length to suit your job and machine it to your own drawing.
