    Ultra-Low-Friction Acetal Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction Acetal Rods.
    A silicone additive gives these rods a self-lubricating surface that reduces friction and extends the life of your parts.
    Red—Red is also known as Turcite X; it is more slippery than blue, making it suitable for low-load applications at high speeds.

    Ultra-Low-Friction Delrin® Acetal Rods

    While just as dimensionally stable and machinable as standard Delrin® acetal resin rods and discs, these have a PTFE filler to make them more slippery and wear resistant. Fabricate them into pump components, gears, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin is also known as acetal homopolymer.

    Ultra-Low-Friction Delrin® Acetal Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction Delrin® Acetal Round Tubes.
    PTFE is added to these Delrin® acetal resin tubes to make the surface even more slippery and wear resistant. They resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be machined to close tolerances. Fabricate them into pump components, gears, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin is also known as acetal homopolymer.
    Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.
