PA6 black rod 1000 mm
Martan offers the black PA6 rods with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.
This standard length is suitable as a starting material for individual components or smaller series.
Typical components are:
- bushes
- rollers
- guides
- gears
- rings
- sleeves
- spacers
- bearing parts
- bolts
- technical turned parts
Depending on the required component length, the rod can then be cut to size and further processed.
Select PA6 rods by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PA6 round material.
Various diameters are available for selection on the product page. You select the specific available size directly via the variant selection.
When selecting, you should particularly take into account:
- required finished diameter
- machining allowance
- component geometry
- wall thickness
- mechanical load
- subsequent machining
- required tolerances
In the market, black PA6 rods are often searched for directly by diameter, for example as:
- PA6 black rod 10 mm
- PA6 black rod 20 mm
- PA6 black rod 30 mm
- PA6 black rod 40 mm
- PA6 black rod 50 mm
- PA6 black rod 60 mm
- PA6 black rod 70 mm
- PA6 black rod 80 mm
- PA6 black rod 100 mm
You can check the sizes actually available directly on the product page.
PA6 rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a PA6 rod cut to size may be worthwhile.
The round material can be prepared to the required starting length and then further processed mechanically.
Suitable processes include:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- thread machining
- CNC machining
A suitably prepared polyamide rod cut to size can reduce material consumption and subsequent machining effort.
Properties of black PA6
PA6 is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with a balanced ratio of strength, toughness and wear resistance.
Typical properties are:
- high strength
- high toughness
- good impact resistance
- good wear resistance
- good sliding properties
- good damping behaviour
- good machinability
- high mechanical load capacity
It should be noted that PA6 can absorb moisture. This can change dimensions and mechanical properties.
With tight tolerances, this material effect should already be taken into account during design and machining.
Why black PA6 rods?
The black variant is particularly suitable for technical applications where, in addition to the material properties, a dark material colour is required.
Possible reasons for the black version are:
- dark technical appearance
- better visual differentiation
- visible machine components
- identification of different component groups
- reduced visibility of signs of wear
Martan also points out that black colouring can help to improve UV behaviour depending on the version.
However, the specific suitability for permanent outdoor applications should always be checked on the basis of the actual material version.
What are PA6 rods used for?
PA6 black rods are suitable for numerous mechanically stressed technical components.
Typical areas of application are:
- mechanical engineering
- plant engineering
- jig and fixture construction
- conveyor technology
- production technology
- equipment construction
- automation technology
Typical components are:
- bushes
- bearing parts
- rollers
- guides
- gears
- spacers
- sleeves
- bolts
- sliding components
- technical turned parts
PA6 rod for rollers and guides
PA6 is particularly suitable for dynamically stressed components.
Typical applications made from round material are:
- running rollers
- guide rollers
- deflection rollers
- bearing bushes
- guide elements
- sliding parts
The combination of strength, toughness and good sliding properties makes polyamide interesting for such machine elements.
Turning PA6 rod
PA6 can be machined well by cutting with suitable tools.
By turning, for example, the following can be produced:
- bushes
- rings
- rollers
- sleeves
- bolts
- spacers
For clean results, suitable tool geometry, cutting speed, feed and chip removal should be taken into account.
Since PA6 can absorb moisture, the later area of use should also be taken into account with particularly tight tolerances.
Milling and drilling PA6 rod
In addition to turning, PA6 can be milled and drilled well.
As a result, among other things:
- cross holes
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- fastening holes
- threads
can be introduced into the component.
For more complex component geometries, CNC machining may be worthwhile.
PA6 black or natural?
Martan stocks PA6 rods in both black and natural.
PA6 black is particularly suitable for:
- dark technical appearance
- visual identification
- visible components
- required black material colour
PA6 natural is the classic light standard version.
Here you will find our PA6 natural rods.
PA6 or POM-C rod?
PA6 and POM-C are both used for technical functional parts, but differ significantly.
PA6 offers advantages in:
- toughness
- impact stress
- damping behaviour
- dynamically loaded components
POM-C offers advantages in:
- dimensional stability
- low moisture absorption
- high rigidity
- precise machining
For very dimensionally stable precision parts, POM-C round material may therefore be the more suitable choice.
PA6 or PE1000 rod?
PA6 and PE1000 can both be used for rollers, guides and sliding components.
PA6 is particularly suitable for:
- higher strength
- higher rigidity
- mechanical load
- dynamic machine elements
PE1000 is particularly suitable for:
- very high wear stress
- low friction
- strongly pronounced sliding movements
- conveyor technology
If abrasion and sliding behaviour are the main focus, you will find suitable variants under PE1000 / PE-UHMW rods.
PA6 or PEEK rod?
For significantly higher thermal or chemical requirements, PEEK can be an alternative.
PA6 is an economical technical material for many classic mechanical engineering applications.
PEEK is used when there are additionally particularly high requirements for temperature resistance, strength and chemical resistance.
You will find suitable variants under PEEK natural rods.

Frequently asked questions about black PA6 rods
Can I buy black PA6 rods online?
Yes. Martan stocks black PA6 rods as a separate product in the online shop.
How long are black PA6 rods?
The product page states a length of approx. 1,000 mm. Other lengths or individual cut pieces may be possible depending on the version.
Which diameters are available for black PA6 rods?
Various diameters are available for selection. You can see the specific available sizes directly in the variant selection.
Can I order PA6 rods cut to size?
PA6 can be cut to the required length and then further processed mechanically.
Does PA6 turn well?
Yes. PA6 has good machinability by cutting and is suitable, for example, for bushes, rollers, rings, sleeves and other turned parts.
Does PA6 absorb water?
Yes. PA6 can absorb moisture. This can change dimensions and mechanical properties. With tight tolerances, this effect should be taken into account.
Are PA6 rods also available in natural?
Yes. Here you will find our PA6 natural rods.
When is POM-C worthwhile instead of PA6?
POM-C is often the better choice when particularly high dimensional stability, low water absorption and precise machining are the main focus.
