Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 65mm Dia Cast Polyamide Engineering Bar

Strong Cast Polyamide Rod for Gear Racks and Crane Sheaves

This natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 65mm dia, is made from cast polyamide 6, a grade with higher strength, stiffness and hardness than extruded nylon. It works reliably in temperatures from 0°C to +90°C, and the cast nylon 6 range is food compliant, so it suits both clean production areas and busy workshops.

Because cast nylon is less stressed than extruded nylon, it machines better and parts keep their shape after cutting. Its characteristics are similar to extruded nylon 6.6, with good creep resistance and long lasting wear performance, even under steady loads. Replacing metal parts with this rod can also lower noise, weight and the need for frequent lubrication.

Typical Applications

• Large gears
• Bearings
• Bushes
• Gear racks
• Crane sheaves
• Boom pads

The solid round bar can be turned into bushes and bearings, or cut and machined into gear racks, crane sheaves and boom pads to your own drawing. Its smooth, hard surface slides well against steel, and it resists many oils, greases and common workshop chemicals, which keeps maintenance low.

Fabricators and maintenance teams choose this rod for lifting equipment, drive components and sliding parts that need a long service life. The natural colour makes marking out and inspection easy. Order the length you need today.
