Starting a new mechanical project? This rod from RS PRO connects components and adds strength to them. It's used in industrial settings such as farms and factories, as well as by home hobbyists.
Made from acetal, the rod is extremely durable and rigid, so you can use it for structural support and in high-wear applications. The material is easy to machine and drill too, so you can customise this part to fit a wide range of projects.
This product has an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 94 HB flammability rating, which means it offers some protection from fire and burns slowly when in a horizontal position. The rod is frequently used to attach instrument handles and friction bearings.
