This RS PRO rod is a good choice for mechanical projects where you need to connect components and strengthen them. You'll find it used in a range of environments, from farms and factories to home workshops.


The rod is highly rigid and durable thanks to its acetal material. This means you can use it in applications where there's a high level of wear or where you need to provide robust structural support. It's also simple to machine and drill, meaning you can adapt the component to the specifications of your project.


As it has a flammability rating of UL 94 HB from Underwriters Laboratories, the rod burns slowly in a horizontal position to reduce the risk of fire. You can use this rod for attaching items such as friction bearings and instrument handles.
