RS PRO Black Glass-Reinforced Plastic Rod, 1 m x 50 mm Diameter 771-847

RS PRO Black Glass-Reinforced Plastic Rod model 771-847 represents a premium engineering solution for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. The rod is manufactured from glass-reinforced plastic, which delivers an optimal combination of strength, rigidity, and durability. This model comes in a convenient form factor: 1 meter in length and 50 mm diameter, making it versatile for a range of component fabrication needs.

Designed for environments requiring reliable structural integrity, the rod features a black finish and boasts a density of 1.35 g/cm³. Its high impact strength of 70 kJ/m² ensures it can absorb considerable energy without fracturing, making it suitable for moving, load-bearing, or safety-critical parts. The UL94 HB flammability rating means the rod burns very slowly when exposed to open flame, providing a safety margin that is especially valuable in industrial areas prone to fire hazards.

With a tensile strength reaching 160 MPa (megapascals), the rod is engineered to handle significant mechanical loads. Its elongation tolerance up to 5% and Rockwell hardness of M 90 combine to enhance resistance to deformation and wear. Operating reliably at temperatures up to 110°C and demonstrating thermal conductivity of 0.27 W/mK, this rod is suited for tasks involving heat and mechanical stresses, including thermal insulation and friction applications.

The rod exhibits excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for use in food processing and packaging machinery. It is commonly deployed in manufacturing friction rings, support rings, housing parts, levers, diverse machine parts, thermal insulators, and wiper blades. Its water absorption rate of 5.5%, combined with its robust construction, allows use in moderately humid environments without deterioration.

Applications cover gears, wheels, bearings, and other moving parts in aerospace equipment or heavy-duty industrial machines. Its high performance is also leveraged in environments where compliance with safety standards and mechanical reliability is essential.
