Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-151 Acetal Bar 0.75x1.5x48 in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-151 is a natural-color acetal (POM) plastic bar stock cut to a rectangular cross-section, measuring 0.75 inches thick by 1.5 inches wide and 48 inches long. Acetal is an engineering-grade thermoplastic known for its high stiffness, low friction coefficient, and excellent dimensional stability under load. At 5.74 pounds, this bar is well-suited for machining into bushings, wear pads, slide guides, spacers, and structural inserts. It is commonly processed on CNC mills, lathes, and manual shop equipment by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial and light manufacturing environments.

This acetal bar stock is appropriate for applications requiring a material that resists moisture absorption, maintains tight tolerances after machining, and performs reliably in moderate-load sliding or bearing contact situations. Typical uses include replacement wear components, jig and fixture elements, conveyor guide rails, and custom spacers in food-processing, packaging, and general industrial machinery where metal replacement materials are specified.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) construction provides high stiffness and low friction for wear and bearing applications
• Rectangular bar profile - 0.75 inches thick by 1.5 inches wide - ready for secondary machining
• 48-inch length allows multiple parts to be cut from a single bar
• Natural color acetal offers consistent material properties throughout the cross-section
• Weighs 5.74 pounds - manageable for bench and machine work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal bar stock suitable for machining custom components in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications where an engineering thermoplastic with low friction and good dimensional stability is required.

Installation Notes

Acetal bar stock is machined, cut, and shaped by machinists and fabricators using standard metalworking or woodworking equipment - carbide or HSS tooling is appropriate. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Acetal chips cleanly but can generate fine dust; wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection during machining. Finished parts should be deburred and inspected for dimensional accuracy before assembly.
