Professional Plastics RURENA50A2.500X48.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RURENA50A2.500X48.000 is a cast polyurethane round rod measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. Cast polyurethane rod stock is manufactured by pouring liquid urethane into cylindrical molds, producing a dense, void-free cross-section with consistent Shore 50A hardness throughout. This hardness rating places it in the medium-soft range, combining flexibility with load-bearing resilience. Weighing 10.64 pounds per length, this rod is well-suited for machining, cutting, or fabricating custom wear parts, rollers, bushings, bumpers, and vibration-dampening components. The length tolerance is -0/+0.025 inches, supporting close-tolerance fabrication work.

Cast polyurethane rod at Shore 50A hardness is widely used in industrial, mechanical, and manufacturing environments where rubber-like flexibility and abrasion resistance are required in a machinable stock form. Typical applications include fabricating custom wheels, seals, pad inserts, scrapers, and impact-absorbing components. This rod stock is appropriate for job shop machining, OEM part fabrication, maintenance and repair operations, and prototype development across industries such as material handling, mining, agriculture, and general manufacturing.

Key Features

• Cast construction provides a dense, consistent cross-section suitable for precision machining
• Shore 50A durometer offers medium-soft flexibility combined with abrasion and tear resistance
• 2.5 inch diameter and 48 inch length yields substantial stock for multiple cut parts per rod
• Tight length tolerance of -0/+0.025 inches supports close-tolerance fabrication
• Polyurethane material resists oils, greases, and many industrial fluids
• Weighs 10.64 pounds, indicating high-density cast material

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast polyurethane rod stock for machining and fabrication applications requiring Shore 50A hardness in a 2.5 inch diameter round bar format.

Installation Notes

This rod stock is machined, cut, or shaped by fabricators and machinists using standard metalworking or plastics-cutting equipment; carbide or bi-metal tooling is recommended for clean cuts. Secure the rod firmly in a lathe chuck or vise before machining to prevent movement. Observe appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding polyurethane. Final parts fabricated from this stock should be installed by qualified personnel appropriate to the end-use application.
