Professional Plastics RUREBK50A1.250X12.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RUREBK50A1.250X12.000 is a cast polyurethane round rod measuring 1.25 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Polyurethane rod stock at Shore 50A hardness occupies the mid-soft range of the durometer scale, offering a balance of flexibility and load-bearing resilience that distinguishes it from harder nylon or acetal rods. The black color is integral to the material. This rod is used as raw stock for machining, fabrication, and custom part production across maintenance, industrial, and trade applications. It weighs 0.66 pounds per piece.

Cast polyurethane rod at Shore 50A is well suited for applications that require vibration damping, abrasion resistance, and moderate flexibility. Typical uses include fabricating custom bushings, rollers, wear pads, bumpers, gaskets, and seals in HVAC, plumbing, industrial equipment, and general mechanical maintenance. The 12-inch length provides a workable billet for lathe turning, milling, or hand cutting to final part dimensions. A dimensional tolerance of -0 / +0.025 inches on the diameter supports consistent machining setups.

Key Features

• Shore 50A hardness: mid-soft durometer suitable for vibration isolation and wear-surface fabrication
• Cast construction provides uniform density and consistent machinability throughout the cross section
• Dimensional tolerance of -0 / +0.025 inches on diameter for repeatable machining setups
• 1.25-inch diameter by 12-inch length gives sufficient billet stock for small-to-medium custom parts
• Black integral color; UNSPSC Code 30102415 for procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as raw material stock for fabricating custom polyurethane components in industrial, mechanical, and trade maintenance applications where Shore 50A hardness and abrasion resistance are required.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of polyurethane rod should be performed with sharp tooling to prevent tearing or surface deformation. Standard lathe, mill, or band-saw equipment is appropriate for most operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting to avoid flex-induced inaccuracies. Verify final part dimensions with calipers before installation in any load-bearing or sealing application.
