RS PRO Leaded Gunmetal Cast Lead Bronze Metal Rod Ø38.1 mm, Length 330.2 mm 181-9502

RS PRO 181-9502 is a leaded gunmetal metal rod made of cast lead bronze with a diameter of 38.1 mm and length of 330.2 mm. This metal rod is designed for general-purpose industrial use where free-machining properties are required. Despite a tensile strength of 241 MPa, it exhibits excellent bearing capabilities, making it favorable for components such as bearings, bushings, washers, and linings.

The lead content in this material lowers friction and operating temperature, reducing the risk of seizure under conditions of poor lubrication. This rod conforms to SAE 660 standards and is an alternative to BS 1400 LB4. Its thermal conductivity of 58.1 W/mK and density of 8.91 g/cm³ ensure durability and performance in mechanical assemblies.

Typical applications include pumps, piston rings, gears, bushings, and bearings. The rod is supplied in lengths of 330.2 mm and is manufactured in the United Kingdom to meet international standards including SAE 660, BS 1400 LG4, and DIN 1705 Rg7.

Constructed from leaded gunmetal cast lead bronze for easy machining. Diameter: 38.1 mm and length: 330.2 mm. Suitable tensile strength and hardness for bearing parts. Recommended for use in environments with limited lubrication.

Complies with SAE 660, BS 1400 LG4, and DIN 1705 Rg7 standards. Manufactured in the United Kingdom ensuring quality and consistency.

This RS PRO Metal Rod is ideal for industrial, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and fluid power applications where durable and low-friction materials are needed. Explore more from RS PRO metal materials for robust mechanical components.
