Professional Plastics RURENA60A.375X24.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RURENA60A.375X24.000 is a cast polyurethane rod measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length. Rated at Shore 60A hardness, this rod occupies the softer-to-medium range of the durometer scale, making it well suited for applications that require flexibility, impact absorption, and resilience under repeated loading. Manufactured as a cast rod, it offers consistent material density throughout its cross-section. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople cut this stock to length for custom bushings, wear pads, rollers, seals, and similar components. Dimensional tolerance is -0/+0.025 inches, ensuring predictable fit in precision fabrication work.

This polyurethane rod is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where rubber would degrade too quickly and rigid plastics would crack under flex or impact. Typical scenarios include fabricating custom wear parts, vibration-dampening mounts, guide rollers, and seal blanks in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. Its cast construction makes it appropriate for both light machining on a lathe and manual cutting with standard shop tools. The 24-inch length provides useful raw stock for multiple small parts from a single piece.

Key Features

• Shore 60A hardness for flexible, impact-resistant performance in wear-part applications
• Cast rod construction for consistent density and machinability throughout
• 0.375-inch diameter with a tight -0/+0.025-inch dimensional tolerance
• 24-inch length provides ample raw stock for multiple fabricated components
• Polyurethane material resists abrasion, oils, and repeated mechanical loading better than natural rubber

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose polyurethane rod stock suitable for custom fabrication of bushings, rollers, wear pads, and seals in industrial and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping of polyurethane rod stock is typically performed by machinists or maintenance fabricators using standard lathe, band saw, or manual cutting equipment. Secure the rod firmly before cutting to prevent slipping and ensure a clean, square cut. Eye protection and appropriate shop PPE should be worn during all machining operations. Finished parts should be verified for dimensional fit before final installation in assemblies.
