Acetal rod questions we are asked in Palmerston North

What diameters of acetal rod are stocked?
We hold 10mm to 200mm diameter in black and natural, cut to any length you need with no minimum order.
Acetal or nylon rod for bushes?
Acetal stays dimensionally stable in wet service and runs with lower friction. Nylon handles higher shock loading. For washdown plant, acetal is usually the safer specification.
Can you machine the parts for us?
Yes. Our workshop turns, mills and CNC routes to your drawing, so you can order finished components rather than raw rod.
