Metal

Easy-to-Weld 4130 Alloy Steel Round Tubes

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

932 Bearing Bronze Tubes

Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

Oil-Filled 841 Bearing Bronze Tubes

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

High-Temperature Graphite-Filled
841 Bearing Bronze Tubes

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

Easy-to-Machine 936 Bearing Bronze Tubes

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Weldable 954 Bearing Bronze Tubes

954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears. The strength of this material increases with heat treating.

High-Strength 863 Bearing Bronze Tubes

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

Tight-Tolerance Hardened 440C Stainless Steel

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

Plastic

Wear-Resistant Nylon Tubes

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Oil-Filled Easy-to-Machine
Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine
Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

Heat-Stabilized Easy-to-Machine
Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Tubes

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine
Delrin® Acetal Resin Tubes

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

Metal-Backed Slippery PTFE

A layer of tin-plated steel adds structural support and makes this PTFE easy to form.
