PA6 rod natural 1000 mm
Martan offers the natural-coloured PA6 rods in the shop with a length of approx. 1,000 mm. In the technical data, standard lengths of 1,000 or 2,000 mm are also stated.
The round material is suitable as a starting material for:
- bushes
- rollers
- guides
- gears
- rings
- sleeves
- spacers
- bearing parts
- bolts
- technical turned parts
Competitors also carry natural-coloured PA6 rods very consistently in 1,000 mm length.
Select PA6 rods by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PA6 round material.
Martan states a broad standard range for PA6 natural. According to the dimensions table, the available rod sizes go up to 300 mm diameter, depending on the length.
Typical search sizes are for example:
- PA6 rod natural 10 mm
- PA6 rod natural 20 mm
- PA6 rod natural 30 mm
- PA6 rod natural 40 mm
- PA6 rod natural 50 mm
- PA6 rod natural 60 mm
- PA6 rod natural 80 mm
- PA6 rod natural 100 mm
- PA6 rod natural 150 mm
- PA6 rod natural 200 mm
In the competitive environment, numerous of these diameters are offered directly as selectable variants.
When selecting, you should particularly consider:
- required finished diameter
- machining allowance
- component geometry
- wall thickness
- mechanical load
- subsequent machining
- required tolerances
PA6 rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a PA6 rod cut piece to size may be useful.
Martan explicitly states special formats, cut pieces and close-tolerance lengths as feasible options.
Typical machining processes are:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- CNC machining
Competitors also combine PA6 rods directly with configurable length cuts.
A suitably prepared cut piece can reduce material consumption and subsequent machining effort.
Properties of PA6 natural
PA6 natural is a technical thermoplastic with a balanced ratio of strength, elasticity and processability.
Martan states among others:
- density of approx. 1.14 g/cm³
- temperature range from about −30 °C to +90 °C
- short-term temperature load up to about 120 °C
- tensile strength of approx. 75 MPa
- very good sliding properties
- water absorption up to about 2.5 %
- natural to beige-whitish material colour
PA6 can absorb moisture. During prolonged use in a humid environment, dimensions and mechanical properties may change as a result. This should be taken into account with tight tolerances.
Why PA6 rods natural?
According to Martan, the natural-coloured version requires no additional colour pigments and offers a homogeneous material structure.
PA6 natural is particularly suitable when:
- a light technical material colour is desired
- pigment-free material is preferred
- good machinability is important
- mechanical load capacity is required
- technical visual inspection is to be facilitated
Martan also describes the natural variant as particularly suitable for standard applications, prototype production and jig and fixture construction.
What are PA6 rods natural used for?
Natural-coloured PA6 rods are used in numerous industrial areas.
Martan states in particular:
- mechanical engineering
- jig and fixture construction
- conveyor technology
- design engineering
- prototype construction
Typical components are:
- bushes
- gears
- guides
- rollers
- clamping jaws
- supports
- positioning aids
- guide elements
- technical functional parts
PA6 rod for rollers and guides
Due to its combination of strength, toughness, sliding properties and damping, PA6 is well suited for dynamically loaded machine elements. Martan states rollers and guides among others as typical applications.
For example, the following can be manufactured from round material:
- running rollers
- guide rollers
- bushes
- guide elements
- bearing parts
- spacers
Turning PA6 rod
According to Martan, PA6 natural can be machined very well. Sawing, turning, milling and drilling are possible with standard machines.
By turning, for example, the following can be produced:
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- sleeves
- bolts
- spacers
For clean results, Martan recommends sharp tools and good chip removal.
Milling and drilling PA6 rod
In addition to turning, PA6 natural can be milled and drilled well.
This allows, among other things:
- cross holes
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- fastening holes
- more complex geometries
to be introduced into the component.
For complex technical components, CNC machining may be useful.
PA6 natural or black?
Martan carries PA6 rods in both natural and black.
PA6 natural is particularly suitable for:
- light material colour
- pigment-free version
- standard applications
- prototypes and jig parts
PA6 black, by contrast, offers a dark technical appearance and is used, according to Martan, among other things for visual differentiation and in some cases for improved UV protection.
Here you will find our PA6 rods black.
PA6 natural or PA6G?
Martan distinguishes extruded PA6 natural from cast PA6G.
For extruded PA6 natural, Martan states in particular:
- higher dimensional accuracy at smaller diameters
- good homogeneity across the cross-section
- higher notched impact strength compared with the described PA6G version
The suitable variant should be selected according to component size, manufacturing process and mechanical load.
PA6 or POM-C rod?
PA6 and POM-C are both suitable for technical functional parts, but have different focal points.
PA6 is particularly suitable for:
- toughness
- dynamic load
- damping
- wear load
POM-C is particularly interesting when:
- high dimensional accuracy
- low moisture absorption
- high rigidity
- precise machining
are the priority.
You can find suitable material under POM-C rods.
PA6 or PE1000 rod?
PA6 and PE1000 can both be used for rollers, guides and technical moving parts.
PA6 offers in particular:
- higher mechanical strength
- good rigidity
- good damping
- suitability for dynamically loaded components
PE1000 is particularly interesting for:
- very high wear load
- low friction
- pronounced sliding movements
- conveyor technology
You can find suitable variants under PE1000 / PE-UHMW rods.

Frequently asked questions about PA6 rods natural
Can I buy PA6 rods natural online?
Yes. Martan carries PA6 rods natural as a standalone product in the online shop.
How long are PA6 rods natural?
The shop states a length of approx. 1,000 mm. The dimensions table states standard lengths of 1,000 and 2,000 mm depending on the diameter.
Which diameters are available for PA6 rods natural?
Martan states standard dimensions up to 300 mm diameter. The specific available variant depends on the required length.
Can I order PA6 rods cut to size?
Yes. Martan explicitly states special formats, cut pieces and close-tolerance lengths as feasible.
Does PA6 natural turn well?
Yes. Martan describes PA6 natural as very easy to machine and explicitly states turning as a suitable machining process.
Does PA6 absorb water?
Yes. Martan states a water absorption of up to about 2.5 % for PA6 natural and points out that dimensions may change as a result during prolonged exposure to moisture.
Are PA6 rods also available in black?
Yes. Here you will find our PA6 rods black.
When is POM-C a better choice than PA6?
POM-C may be the more suitable choice when low water absorption, high dimensional accuracy and particularly precise machining are more important than the toughness and damping of PA6.
