Professional Plastics RURENA60A.375X12.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RURENA60A.375X12.000 is a cast polyurethane round rod measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. It is rated Shore 60A on the hardness scale, placing it in the soft-to-medium durometer range commonly specified for wear pads, bushings, rollers, and seal components. The rod is manufactured as a cast product, which produces consistent density and dimensional accuracy throughout the cross-section. A length tolerance of -0/+0.025 inches is specified, meaning the part will meet or slightly exceed the nominal 12-inch length. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this stock to cut custom parts to final dimension.

This polyurethane rod is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where a flexible yet abrasion-resistant material is required. Typical uses include fabricating custom bushings, wear strips, bumpers, vibration-dampening mounts, and seal blanks. The Shore 60A hardness makes it appropriate for applications that require the material to compress and recover under moderate load without permanent deformation. It is used in shop fabrication environments as well as field repair situations across manufacturing, processing, and mechanical service trades.

Key Features

• Cast polyurethane construction for consistent density and machinability
• Shore 60A durometer rating for soft-to-medium flexibility with abrasion resistance
• 0.375 inch diameter with 12 inch length for single-piece stock cutting
• Length tolerance of -0/+0.025 inches ensures minimum nominal length is met
• UNSPSC Code 30102415 for procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast polyurethane rod stock for machining or cutting into custom components across light industrial and mechanical fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and fabrication of polyurethane rod stock is typically performed by machinists or maintenance fabricators using standard shop tools such as band saws, lathes, or milling equipment. Secure the rod firmly during cutting to prevent deflection due to the material flexibility. Polyurethane generates heat when machined at high speeds, so appropriate feed rates and tooling should be used to avoid material distortion. No special electrical lockout or fluid shutoff procedures apply to raw stock fabrication, but standard shop safety practices and PPE should be followed.
