Machining Delrin POM-H

Machinability is rated excellent — one of the friendlier materials on a machine tool — expect efficient cycle times and good surface finish at sensible cost. Engineering polymers have significantly higher thermal expansion coefficients than metals. All plastic components must be inspected at a controlled temperature, and tolerances tighter than ±0.020 mm are generally not maintainable in service without dimensional constraints in the design.

Our standard achievable tolerance on Delrin POM-H is ±0.020mm under normal conditions, with tighter tolerances on critical features agreed at quotation. Standard finishes: Higher crystallinity than POM-C. Full material traceability with MTR and CoC documentation on every order.

Typical applications

High-stiffness components, precision bushings, positioning elements.

Reference tool. Values are typical for the grade and condition stated and vary by supplier, temper and batch — they are reference data, not a specification. The Material Test Report supplied with your order is the governing document for the material actually used. Figures are provided in good faith for early design guidance and are not a substitute for the published standard or your own engineering judgement. Always verify against the controlled standard and your drawing before manufacture. If a feature is critical, tell us at quotation stage and we'll confirm it explicitly.
Questions engineers actually ask
