Hollow rods from PE to POM to PEEK

Wherever our customers from the machining industry produce hollow turned parts, which generally have to be pre-machined in a time-consuming process by means of core drilling or boring, our extensive range of hollow bars made from a wide variety of materials is ideal.

From the well-known

• Standard plastics
  • (PVC, PE, PP) about
• Engineering plastics
  • (PA, POM) through to the
• High-performance plastics
  • (PVDF, PTFE, PFA, FEP, PCTFE, PEEK)

we supply hollow rods.

Our hollow rods have perfect concentricity and are supplied with nominal diameters

This means for you as a processor. that the outer diameter is always in the plus range and the inner diameter is always in the minus range.
In this way, we guarantee you as a customer that you can always achieve the specified nominal dimensions.

In most cases, the delivery tolerances are much tighter than those of the corresponding DIN/EN standard . We will be happy to provide you with details on request.

You can find out which materials we supply as hollow rods in the corresponding diameter ranges in our delivery overview

Hollow rods are cylindrical structures made of plastic that are characterized by a hollow interior. These hollow rods are made from different types of plastic and are used in various applications.

Properties of hollow rods :

• Hollow interior:
  The central area of the hollow bar is empty and provides a hollow passageway, which can result in lower weight and possibly improved insulation.

• Materials:
  Hollow rods can be made from various plastics, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polycarbonate or others, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

• Versatile shapes:
  These hollow bars can have different cross-sectional shapes, including round, oval, rectangular or other shapes to meet the requirements of different applications.

• Lightweight:
  Due to the hollow interior, hollow plastic rods are generally lighter than solid rods made of the same material, which makes them easier to handle and process.

Applications of hollow rods :

• construction industry:
  Hollow bars are used in the construction industry for various applications such as building structures, railings, facades and as pipe ducts.

• packaging industry:
  In the packaging industry, hollow rods are used as the core material for rolls of film, tape or other packaging materials.

• Advertising technology:
  Hollow rods are used in advertising technology for the production of signs, displays or advertising media.

• Electrical industry:
  In the electrical industry, hollow rods are used as cable ducts or for insulating electrical cables.

• furniture industry:
  In furniture production, hollow rods are used as structural elements for furniture parts or to reinforce components.

Advantages of hollow rods :

• Low weight:
  The hollow structure results in a lower weight compared to solid bars made of the same material.

• Insulation:
  The hollow interior can have a certain insulating effect, which can be an advantage in certain applications.

• Customizability:
  Hollow bars can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes to meet the specific requirements of different industries.

• Corrosion resistance:
  Plastics are generally corrosion-resistant, which makes the hollow rods suitable for applications in damp environments or outdoors.

The selection of a suitable hollow bar depends on the specific requirements of the application, the mechanical properties of the plastic used and the desired shape . Manufacturer information and specific application requirements should be taken into account when making the selection.
