ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
🔷 Overview of the POM Series
The POM Series is a plastic component line developed by Nippon Chemical Screw Co., Ltd. for mechanical and functional applications.
The material used is POM (Polyacetal), a widely adopted engineering plastic in mechanical components.
POM is known for its high mechanical strength, excellent dimensional accuracy, and shape retention.
Even under continuous operation, it offers low wear and stable long-term performance.
In mechanical equipment, components such as spacers and bushings are not merely gap-adjusting parts.
They are required to support loads, maintain geometry, and withstand repeated friction.
The POM Series is selected for applications where dimensional precision, durability, and stable operation are essential.
🔷 Key Features of the POM Series
- High mechanical strength suitable for compressive and service loads
- Excellent wear resistance and low-friction characteristics
- High creep resistance, maintaining shape and dimensions over long-term use
- Low water absorption, minimizing dimensional change due to environment
- Electrical insulation properties, suitable for separating metal components
- Continuous operating temperature: approx. 95°C (203°F)
🔹The POM Series is designed for mechanical applications, functional components, and parts requiring high dimensional accuracy.
🔷 Typical Application Industries
🖥️ OA Equipment
- Copiers, printers, and automated office machines
- Spacers and bushings requiring high dimensional stability and wear resistance
🏭 Machine Tools & Industrial Machinery
- Jigs, fixtures, and various mechanical components
- Applications requiring long-term stability and mechanical strength
🚜 Construction Machinery Parts
- Partial replacement of metal components
- Contributes to weight reduction and corrosion prevention
🔹The POM Series is well suited for applications that prioritize mechanical strength, dimensional precision, and wear resistance.
🔷 Suitable Usage Conditions
- Use as spacers, bushings, or functional mechanical components
- Applications requiring long-term dimensional stability and shape retention
- Environments involving friction or repeated motion
- When higher precision and creep resistance than PA materials are required
📘 Summary
The POM Series is a plastic component line developed for mechanical and functional applications.
With excellent mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and wear resistance, it is well suited for industrial uses where long-term stability is essential.

❓ FAQ
Q1: Is the POM Series suitable for load-bearing applications?
A1: It can handle loads typical for engineering-level functional components, but it is not intended for primary structural load-bearing applications.
Q2: What is the difference between the POM Series and the PA Series?
A2: POM offers superior dimensional accuracy and creep resistance, while PA is better suited for protective and auxiliary applications used with metal components.
