Nylon 6 Plastic Rod Natural 70mm Dia Solid Cast Polyamide Round Bar

Durable Cast Nylon Stock for Bearings, Bushes and Gear Racks

This natural Nylon 6 plastic rod, 70mm dia, is a solid round bar cast from polyamide 6. Casting gives the material higher strength, stiffness and hardness than standard extruded nylon. It stays dependable across a working range of 0°C to +90°C, and it is food compliant, so it fits both clean processing areas and heavy workshop use.

Cast nylon has less built-in stress, so machined parts hold their shape and cut cleanly. You can turn, drill and mill it without the distortion often seen in extruded rod. Its behaviour is close to nylon 6.6, with good creep resistance and a long wear life under constant load. Swapping metal parts for this rod also reduces noise, weight and the need for regular lubrication.

Typical Applications

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

The solid round section suits bearings and bushes turned to your own size, and it can be cut into sections for gear racks, crane sheaves and boom pads. Its low friction surface slides smoothly against steel, and it resists many oils, greases and common workshop chemicals, which keeps upkeep low.

Maintenance teams and fabricators rely on this rod for lifting equipment, transmission parts and sliding assemblies that need a long service life. The natural finish is easy to mark out and inspect before cutting. Order the length you need and machine it to your own drawing.
