RS PRO 15.88 mm Diameter Leaded Gunmetal Metal Rod 330.2 mm Length 241MPa Tensile Strength 65 HB Hardness 58.1 W/mK 181-9451

RS PRO 181-9451 is a leaded gunmetal metal rod with a diameter of 15.88 mm and length of 330.2 mm, offering a tensile strength of 241 MPa and hardness rating of 65 HB. This metal rod is designed for industrial and mechanical applications requiring good bearing properties and resistance to wear.

Leaded gunmetal, also referred to as cast lead bronze, is a free-machining alloy known for its excellent bearing capabilities and ability to accommodate minor shaft misalignments. The lead content reduces friction and running temperature, minimizing the risk of seizure especially in scenarios with inadequate lubrication.

This metal rod conforms to SAE 660 standards and is suitable for use in pumps, piston rings, gears, bushings, and bearings. Its density of 8.91 g/cm³ and thermal conductivity of 58.1 W/mK contribute to its durability and functional heat dissipation during operation.

Applications span industrial machinery, automotive components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and general engineering requirements where reliable metal rods are essential. The 330.2 mm length supplied in discrete rods ensures easy integration into assembly or manufacturing lines.

RS PRO's commitment to quality and standardized manufacturing processes makes this metal rod a dependable choice for engineers and maintenance professionals working in manufacturing, construction, and industrial maintenance sectors.
