Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-147 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-147 is a natural-color acetal (POM) plastic bar stock cut to 48 inches in length with a rectangular cross-section measuring 1.5 inches wide by 0.25 inches thick. Acetal is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic known for low friction, high stiffness, and good dimensional stability in wet or chemically exposed environments. This bar stock is used in fabrication shops and mechanical assembly operations to machine bushings, wear strips, guide rails, spacers, and similar precision components. It ships as a single piece and weighs approximately 1.02 pounds.

Acetal bar stock in this size range is commonly used in light industrial, OEM, and maintenance fabrication settings. The 0.25-inch thickness makes it well-suited for flat wear surfaces, slide guides, and thin spacer applications where strength-to-weight ratio and machinability matter. Plumbers, millwrights, pipefitters, and general fabricators working on equipment that requires low-friction polymer components will find this profile useful for custom-cut parts. It can be drilled, milled, turned, and tapped with standard metalworking tooling.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) material provides low friction and high wear resistance
• Rectangular bar profile - 1.5 inches wide by 0.25 inches thick
• 48-inch length allows multiple parts to be cut from a single bar
• Natural color acetal offers good dimensional stability in wet environments
• Machinable with standard drilling, milling, and turning equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal bar stock suitable for fabrication of custom wear parts, spacers, bushings, and slide components in light industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

This material is cut and machined to finished dimensions before installation in the target assembly. Standard metalworking tools including band saws, end mills, drill presses, and lathes are appropriate for shaping acetal. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture to prevent movement during cutting. Deburr all cut edges before assembly to avoid interference fits or surface damage to mating components.
