Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

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

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 304 stainless steel.

Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

Offering outstanding resistance to surface wear and corrosion, Nitronic 60 stainless steel is often used for shafts, fasteners, and valves.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

All come with a traceable lot number and test report.

With a higher chromium content than 15-5 PH stainless steel, this high-strength 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance. It is also known as 630 stainless steel.

All come with a traceable lot number and test report.

One of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating, 440C offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance. It's often used for bearings, valves, and knife blades.

The titanium content of 321 stainless steel preserves corrosion resistance around weld points.

These rods and discs are precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 6061 rods and discs.

An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

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

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.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used in electrical applications, such as for bus bars and wire connectors, as well as for flashing, gaskets, and rivets.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

A silicone additive gives this material a self-lubricating surface that reduces friction and extends the life of your parts.

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

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.

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

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

Polycarbonate maintains good impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.
