Below are just a few applications for Acetal Rod:
Acetal Rod for brewing fittings
Due to its rapid machining rates, high quality surface finish and low moisture absorption level, Acetal Rod is excellent for this application and can very often be found as taps and nozzles in all points of contact.
Acetal Rod for gears
Because of its easy to machine capability it is very popular for gears as even small teeth will be easier to machine. It is also a very low friction material which will reduce drive train losses and because it has minimal moisture absorption, the gearwheels will remain very accurate over an extended period of time.
Acetal Rod for gauges
Although Acetal can wear slightly if exposed to excessive use, Acetal Rod is used for plug gauges for the glass bottle industry due to the fact that it will not chip the glass bottle and also the lack of moisture absorption will provide gauge consistency over longer periods of time.
Acetal Rod for motorcycle crash bungs
Acetal is often chosen for producing crash bungs for motorcycles, this is because it is tough and resilient and also will provide an excellent surface finish to match owners requirements.
