Professional Plastics RUREBK40A.250X36.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RUREBK40A.250X36.000 is a cast polyurethane round rod measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Rated at Shore 40A hardness, this rod sits in the soft-to-medium range of the durometer scale, making it well suited for applications requiring flexibility combined with abrasion resistance. It is manufactured from polyurethane, a material known for its resilience, wear resistance, and resistance to oils and many chemicals. The rod is black in color and carries a length tolerance of -0/+0.025 inches. At 0.08 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to cut, machine, or fabricate to finished dimensions on the shop floor or in the field.

This polyurethane rod is used across industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where a flexible, durable plastic stock is needed. Typical uses include fabricating custom seals, bushings, bumpers, rollers, wear pads, and vibration-dampening components. It is appropriate for light-duty mechanical assemblies, conveyor components, and protective padding applications in industrial or commercial settings. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and machinists are the primary users of this type of rod stock. The cast construction provides uniform material properties throughout the cross-section, which supports consistent machining results.

Key Features

• Shore 40A hardness rating for flexible, resilient performance in wear and cushioning applications
• Cast rod construction for consistent material properties throughout the full length
• 0.25 inches diameter with a tight length tolerance of -0/+0.025 inches
• 36 inches length provides stock material ready for custom cutting or machining
• Black polyurethane material offers resistance to abrasion, oils, and general wear
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds, suitable for handling and small-batch fabrication work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose polyurethane rod stock for fabrication and replacement component applications where Shore 40A durometer and 0.25 inches diameter rod form factor are specified.

Installation Notes

This rod stock is typically cut, turned, drilled, or milled to final dimensions using standard metalworking or plastics fabrication equipment. Use sharp tooling and low heat to avoid melting or distorting the polyurethane during machining. When used as a replacement wear component or bushing, confirm that the finished part dimensions match the application requirements before final installation. No adhesives or solvents should be applied without verifying compatibility with polyurethane material.
