Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-185 Acetal Bar 1x2x48 in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-185 is a natural-color acetal (POM) plastic bar cut to a rectangular cross-section. Measuring 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 48 inches long, this bar stock is a general-purpose engineering thermoplastic used across industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical fabrication applications. Acetal offers high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability, making it a preferred material for machined components such as bushings, wear pads, guides, and structural spacers. The bar weighs approximately 5.74 pounds and ships as a single piece.

This bar is suited for CNC machining, manual milling, turning, and drilling operations. It performs well in applications requiring resistance to moisture absorption, fuels, solvents, and mild chemicals. Common install scenarios include fabrication shops producing custom mechanical parts, maintenance departments needing cut-to-size stock for equipment repairs, and OEM production lines requiring consistent, machinable thermoplastic feedstock. Its natural color indicates an unfilled, unmodified POM grade without colorant additives.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) construction provides high rigidity and low-friction surface characteristics
• Rectangular bar profile at 1 inch thick by 2 inches wide simplifies setup for standard milling or lathe work
• 48-inch length offers flexibility for single-piece parts or multiple shorter cuts from one bar
• Natural color indicates unfilled POM grade with no colorant additives
• Low moisture absorption supports dimensional stability in wet or high-humidity environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal bar stock suitable for machining into custom parts across a wide range of industrial and mechanical fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Acetal bar stock is processed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using standard metalworking or woodworking equipment including lathes, mills, band saws, and drill presses. No special tooling certifications are required, but appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for thermoplastics should be followed to avoid melting or surface distortion. Chips and dust should be cleared regularly during machining. Store bar stock horizontally on a flat surface to prevent warping over time.
