Acetal Copolymer Round Rod
Acetal copolymer rod, also known as acetal plastic rod or POM (polyoxymethylene) rod, is a type of engineering plastic known for its excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Acetal copolymer is a thermoplastic material that is widely used in various industrial applications.
Acetal copolymer rods are typically manufactured through a process called extrusion, where molten acetal copolymer material is forced through a die to form a continuous rod shape. The resulting rod is then cut into desired lengths for commercial distribution and use.
Here are some key characteristics and properties of acetal copolymer rod:
- High Mechanical Strength: Acetal copolymer rod offers high tensile strength, stiffness, and toughness. It exhibits good resistance to wear, abrasion, and fatigue, making it suitable for applications that require mechanical strength and durability.
- Low Friction and Wear Resistance: Acetal copolymer has a low coefficient of friction, which means it has excellent self-lubricating properties. This makes it suitable for applications where reduced friction, smooth sliding, and wear resistance are required.
- Dimensional Stability: Acetal copolymer rod has excellent dimensional stability, which means it maintains its shape and size even under varying temperature and humidity conditions. This property makes it suitable for precision components and applications that require tight tolerances.
- Chemical Resistance: Acetal copolymer exhibits good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, fuels, oils, and many industrial chemicals. It is less susceptible to chemical attack or degradation compared to other plastics.
- Electrical Insulation: Acetal copolymer has good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications where electrical conductivity needs to be minimized or where insulation is required.
- Machinability: Acetal copolymer rod is easy to machine and fabricate using standard machining tools such as lathes, mills, and drills. It can be drilled, tapped, turned, milled, and sawed to create custom parts and components.
- Wide Temperature Range: Acetal copolymer exhibits good thermal stability and can withstand a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F), depending on the specific grade. This makes it suitable for both high-temperature and low-temperature applications.
Acetal copolymer rod finds applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronics, consumer goods, industrial machinery, and more. It is used to manufacture gears, bearings, bushings, valve seats, electrical connectors, pump components, conveyor parts, and various other precision components where its mechanical strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability are advantageous.
