Reely Polyamide Solid Rod (Ø x L) 8 mm x 500 mm, 1 pc. (238007)

This solid rod is made of polyamide, offering a balance of high impact resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, and good machinability. Unlike metal rods, it provides good electrical insulation and low friction, making it suitable for a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications.

Highlights

• Polyamide (PA) material for high strength and durability
• Solid rod with 8 mm diameter and 500 mm length
• Natural colour (white/cream)
• Excellent abrasion resistance and impact resistance
• Good chemical resistance against oils, fuels, and many solvents
• Low coefficient of friction and good electrical insulation
• Machinable with standard tools
• Continuous operating temperature from -30°C to +100°C

In daily use

The polyamide rod can be cut, drilled, turned, or milled to create custom parts such as bushings, spacers, rollers, or insulators. Its low friction and wear resistance make it ideal for moving components, while its electrical insulation properties suit electrical applications. The rod absorbs some moisture, which may slightly affect dimensions in humid environments.
