POM (Polyoxymethylene / Acetal)
Precision Starts with the Right Material
Smooth movement, dimensional accuracy, and long-lasting durability are essential for modern industrial equipment. Polyoxymethylene (POM), commonly known as Acetal, is an engineering plastic developed to meet these exact requirements. Its excellent balance of strength, stiffness, low friction, and wear resistance makes it one of the most trusted materials for precision-machined components.
Whether operating in automated machinery, mechanical assemblies, or high-speed production systems, POM delivers dependable performance while maintaining its shape and mechanical properties even after prolonged use. Its low moisture absorption and excellent machinability further enhance its suitability for components that require tight tolerances and consistent operation.
Engineered to Keep Components Moving
POM is widely selected for applications involving continuous motion because it offers an outstanding combination of mechanical performance and operational efficiency.
