Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Round Tubes

These impact- and wear-resistant tubes offer 360° protection from scrapes and strikes to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. UHMW has a low-friction surface that resists sticking and binding.

Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.

Telescoping UHMW Polyethylene Round Tubes

Telescoping tubes, also known as bushing stock, slide over rods and inside shafts to increase or decrease the diameter. Their precise sizing allows ascending sizes to fit inside each other to create a thicker wall. These impact- and wear-resistant tubes offer 360° protection from scrapes and strikes to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. UHMW has a low-friction surface that resists sticking and binding.
