POM-C ROD

POM-C (DELRIN®) Rod

POM-C (DELRIN®) (Polyacetal Copolymer) rods are engineering plastics known for their high mechanical strength, low friction coefficient, and excellent wear resistance. Thanks to their semi-crystalline structure, they offer resistance to deformation under load and provide reliable performance in precision-tolerance applications. Compared to metal alternatives, POM-C (DELRIN®) rods provide a lighter, lower-maintenance, and easier-to-machine solution. They are especially suitable for high-speed applications and continuously moving mechanical systems.

Material Properties

POM-C (DELRIN®) rods maintain excellent dimensional stability across a wide temperature range, are minimally affected by moisture, and offer resistance to many chemicals. These characteristics make them suitable for both dry and lubricated environments.
  • High wear resistance: Minimizes surface degradation during long-term use
  • Low friction: Reduces energy loss thanks to its naturally slippery surface
  • High mechanical strength: Resistant to impact and fatigue
  • Dimensional stability: Minimally affected by moisture and temperature changes
  • Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, fuels, and many solvents
  • Excellent machinability: Suitable for CNC and conventional machining

Technical Performance

POM-C (DELRIN®) rods are particularly preferred in applications requiring low friction and high surface quality. When used as an alternative to metal components, they help reduce noise levels and minimize lubrication requirements. They also offer excellent creep resistance under load, maintaining their shape over extended periods and ensuring stable long-term operation.
