Description
Would you like to buy natural POM-C rods? At Martan you can obtain natural-coloured POM-C rods in various diameters for technical turned parts, bushes, rollers and precision engineering components.
Choose the right diameter and order your POM rod online – as a standard length or as a POM-C rod cut to size.
Buy natural POM-C rods
POM-C is an engineering plastic with high rigidity, good dimensional accuracy and very good machinability.
Natural-coloured POM-C rods are particularly suitable for components where precise dimensions and clean mechanical machining are important.
Typical advantages:
- high rigidity
- good dimensional accuracy
- very good machinability
- good sliding and wear properties
- low water absorption
- good surface quality
- suitable for precision turned parts
- cut to size possible

Selecting POM rods by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for POM round material.
Different rod diameters are available depending on the product. You can check the specific availability directly in the variant selection.
The choice depends in particular on:
- the required finished diameter
- machining allowance
- component geometry
- mechanical load
- required wall thickness
- planned machining
For turned parts, the starting diameter should provide sufficient machining allowance for subsequent finishing.
POM-C rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a POM-C rod cut piece may be worthwhile.
The rod is cut to the required length and can then be further processed into your component.
Typical machining operations are:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- threading
- CNC machining
A suitable cut piece can reduce material consumption and machining effort.
Properties of POM-C rods
POM-C is frequently used for mechanically demanding precision components.
Typical properties are:
- high strength
- high rigidity
- good dimensional stability
- low water absorption
- good wear resistance
- good sliding properties
- very good machinability
- good surface quality after machining
Further information can be found in our polyoxymethylene material profile.
What are POM-C rods used for?
Natural-coloured POM rods are particularly suitable as starting material for turned and milled functional parts.
Typical applications are:
- bushes
- rollers
- spacers
- guides
- bearing parts
- gears
- rings
- sleeves
- bolts
- precision turned parts
- engineering components
- fixture parts
Turning and machining POM-C rods
POM-C is one of the easily machined engineering plastics.
Particularly suitable are:
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- sawing
When turning, precise rotationally symmetrical components can be produced from round material.
For good dimensional accuracy, tool geometry, cutting parameters, heat input and clamping conditions should be matched to the plastic.
POM-C natural or black?
Martan also stocks POM-C round material in black.
POM-C natural is suitable as the classic technical standard version.
POM-C black can be worthwhile if a dark component colour or clear visual differentiation is required.
Nevertheless, the material selection should be based primarily on the technical requirements.
POM-C rod or sheet?
The suitable semi-finished product form depends on the component geometry.
POM-C rods are particularly suitable for:
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- bolts
- sleeves
- turned parts
POM-C sheets are particularly suitable for:
- flat components
- guide plates
- holders
- milled components
- technical covers
Suitable sheets can be found under POM-C sheets.
POM-C or PE1000 rod?
POM-C and PE1000 differ significantly in their application profile.
POM-C is particularly suitable for:
- high dimensional accuracy
- higher rigidity
- precise machining
- dimensionally stable functional parts
PE1000 is particularly suitable for:
- high wear stress
- pronounced sliding movements
- conveyor technology
- heavily stressed guides
The selection should be based on the specific mechanical task.
POM-C or PEEK rod?
If higher thermal or chemical requirements exist, PEEK can be an alternative.
POM-C, on the other hand, is the more economical solution for many classic engineering applications where there are no extreme temperature requirements.
