Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-174 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-174 is a solid acetal (POM) plastic bar cut for use in machining, fabrication, and industrial maintenance applications. Measuring 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 24 inches long, this rectangular bar stock ships at 5.74 pounds and is supplied in a natural color finish. Acetal is a high-strength engineering thermoplastic known for low moisture absorption, dimensional stability, and machinability, making it a dependable choice for precision parts and wear components. Fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians across manufacturing and industrial maintenance regularly use acetal bar stock as raw material for custom-cut components.

This acetal bar stock is suited for general industrial and OEM fabrication work where a dimensionally stable, machinable thermoplastic is required. Common applications include bushings, bearings, wear pads, slide guides, spacers, and structural inserts. The rectangular profile allows straightforward fixturing on a mill or lathe. It is appropriate for both light manufacturing shops and field fabrication where replacement wear parts must be cut to size on site.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) construction provides high rigidity, low friction, and excellent machinability
• Rectangular bar profile for easy fixturing and cutting on standard machine tools
• Natural color finish indicating unfilled, unmodified acetal resin
• Low moisture absorption supports dimensional stability in wet or humid service environments
• Single-piece quantity suits prototyping, small-batch fabrication, and maintenance repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal bar stock suitable for machining into custom wear parts, spacers, bushings, and structural components across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Acetal bar stock is typically processed by machinists or fabricators using standard metalworking or woodworking equipment including band saws, mills, lathes, and drill presses. Sharp tooling is recommended to achieve clean cuts and avoid melting or smearing the material. No adhesive bonding, fastener torque values, or special coatings are required for raw bar stock processing. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and proper chip management when machining thermoplastics.
