Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 20mm Dia Lightweight Cast Round Bar

Strong Premium Cast Polyamide Rod for Bushes, Bearings and Gear Racks

This tough natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 20mm dia, is made from cast polyamide 6, which gives higher strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon. It works reliably in temperatures from 0°C to +90°C. The cast nylon 6 range is also 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 high quality rod can help cut weight, noise and lubrication needs.

Typical Applications

• Large gears
• Bearings
• Bushes
• Gear racks
• Crane sheaves
• 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.
