POM

Plastic Engineering Solution is a reliable Polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic supplier in India, supplying and machining POM sheets, rods, and precision POM components for industrial applications that require dimensional stability, low friction, high stiffness, and excellent machinability.

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as Acetal, is widely used for its high mechanical strength, low moisture absorption, good wear resistance, and ability to maintain tight tolerances. It is suitable for gears, rollers, bushings, valve components, precision machine parts, and custom industrial plastic components.

Tolerance information

POM Machining Tolerances

Polyoxymethylene (POM) machining tolerances depend on:

  • Component geometry
  • Wall thickness
  •  Part size and complexity
  • Required fit and function
  • Operating conditions
  • Application requirements

POM is well-suited for precision machining and close-tolerance components due to its dimensional stability and low moisture absorption. Typical achievable tolerances are maintained as per design feasibility, with tighter tolerances possible for precision parts after engineering evaluation.

Detailed tolerance information can be provided during the RFQ stage.
