AKU®-CETAL POM-ELS FULL BARS or ROUND BARS a POM-C variant with improved electrical conductivity

POM-ELS solid rods offer an excellent combination of mechanical strength, rigidity and electrical conductivity.

These special properties make them ideal for applications where static electricity is a problem.

Examples include components in electronics production, circuit board holders, assembly devices and other areas where the discharge of static electricity is required.

The surface resistance , measured on the semi-finished product, is <10 to the power of 4 Ω.
Contact resistance at < 10 to the power of 1 Ω

The rods are only available in black.

POM has a continuous service temperature of up to 100°C.

The high surface hardness is only surpassed by a few plastics.

Due to its high hardness and smooth surface, POM has good sliding and wear behavior.

There is basically no tendency to stress cracks .
The copolymer has high thermal stability and chemical resistance.

Our POM-C solid rods are physiologically safe in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 and approved for use in food
.

POM-C solid rods are high-quality plastic rods made from polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C). This material, also known as polyacetal, is characterized by its excellent mechanical properties, high strength and hardness as well as good sliding properties. The solid rods are formed into uniform rods using a special manufacturing process that enables a wide range of applications.

The POM-C solid rods offer high strength and rigidity, which makes them particularly suitable for applications where mechanical loads occur, such as in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, model making and electronics. They are resistant to wear and abrasion and retain their mechanical properties even with long-term use.

In addition, POM-C solid rods have excellent sliding properties, which makes them ideal for applications with dynamic movements and high loads. This makes them a preferred choice for bearing bushes, guide rails, gears, plain bearings and other components that require low friction and high wear resistance.

The smooth surface of the POM-C solid rods enables easy processing, such as cutting, drilling, milling and polishing, which facilitates their adaptation to various applications. They are available in various diameters and lengths to meet the requirements of different projects. From the manufacture of precision parts to the construction of mechanical assemblies, POM-C solid rods offer a reliable and durable solution for a wide range of applications.

Polyoxymethylene

POM, also known as polyacetal or acetal, is an engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties.

Properties of POM:

Mechanical strength:
POM is characterized by high mechanical strength and rigidity. This makes it particularly suitable for applications that require good load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.
Low friction:
POM has low friction, which makes it suitable for sliding and bearing applications. This results in less wear and tear and a longer service life for the components.
Good dimensional stability:
POM retains good dimensional stability even under changing environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations or humidity. This is particularly important for precise and dimensionally stable components.
Chemical resistance:
POM is resistant to many chemicals, especially organic solvents. This enables use in applications where there is contact with various substances.
Good machinability:
POM is easy to machine, which makes it suitable for various manufacturing processes such as injection molding, extrusion and machining by milling or turning.
Good electrical insulation:
As a good insulator, POM is used in electrical applications where reliable insulation is required.

Applications of POM:

POM is used in various sectors, including the automotive industry (e.g. for transmission parts, bearings), electrical industry, household appliances (e.g. gear wheels for dishwashers), medical technology (e.g. for surgical instruments) and general mechanical engineering applications.
Its versatility and excellent properties make POM a popular material in plastics technology.
