Motion & Wear PartsDevis →
Six POM motion and wear parts — gears, slide blocks, guide components, shaft sleeves, plain bearings, and rollers. POM (Delrin/Acetal) is the default engineering plastic for these applications because of its unique combination of low coefficient of friction (0.20–0.35 against steel, dry — no external lubrication needed for most applications), high stiffness (2.8 GPa — POM gears maintain tooth profile under load better than nylon), and extremely low moisture absorption (<0.25% vs nylon 2.5–8%) — meaning POM bushings maintain H7 bore tolerance in humid environments where nylon bushings would swell and bind.
POM-001
MOTION / 001 — FEATURED
POM Plastic Gears
POM Delrin (homopolymer, highest stiffness) and POM Acetal (copolymer) precision plastic gears — spur, bevel, and helical profiles — for low-noise, self-lubricating drive trains in office equipment, medical devices, consumer appliances, automation, and food-processing machinery. POM gear advantages over metal gears: self-lubricating (no external lubrication required in most applications); low running noise (POM tooth elasticity absorbs gear mesh impact); corrosion-free in humid and chemically aggressive environments; lighter than metal; and electrically non-conductive. Gear tooth profile machined by CNC form milling (all module sizes) or gear hobbing (Module ≥0.5, standard profile DIN 867); tooth accuracy class DIN 3967 class 9–10 standard. Bore H7 standard — critical dimension for gear positioning on shaft; bore/OD concentricity ≤0.05mm. Face runout ≤0.05mm. Homopolymer POM (Delrin) specified for smaller gears (OD <60mm, tooth module ≤2) where maximum stiffness is required; copolymer POM for larger sections where centreline porosity in homopolymer would be a risk. Natural (white/ivory) FDA-compliant POM for food-processing gear applications.

Fixture & Tooling PartsDevis →
Four POM fixture and tooling parts — locating blocks, clamping fixture blocks, tooling and jig components, and electrical insulating supports. POM is specified for fixture and tooling applications because it is non-marking (will not scratch or contaminate metal workpiece surfaces), electrically non-conductive (safe in proximity to live electrical assemblies), dimensionally stable (low moisture absorption means fixture dimensions are repeatable), and lightweight (approximately 1/7 the weight of steel for the same volume — reducing fixture inertia for automated fixture applications).
POM-007/008
FIXTURE / 007–008 — FEATURED
Locating Blocks & Fixture Blocks
POM Delrin precision locating blocks and clamping fixture blocks for assembly jigs, inspection fixtures, and automated handling equipment. Locating blocks: datum face flatness ±0.02mm; pin hole H7 (±0.010–0.025mm); feature-to-feature position ±0.05mm by CNC single setup — the accuracy that determines fixture repeatability and assembly dimensional consistency. CMM verification on first article for all precision locating blocks. Fixture and clamping blocks: profile ±0.05mm; clamp face Ra ≤0.4μm; workpiece contact face non-marking (POM leaves no marks or contamination on machined metal, PCB, or sensitive component surfaces). Key advantage of POM over aluminium fixture blocks: electrically non-conductive — POM fixture blocks can contact live PCB components or battery terminals during assembly without risk of short circuit; lower weight (1.42 g/cm³ vs 2.70 g/cm³ aluminium) reduces fixture inertia in automated assembly equipment; no galvanic corrosion risk at dissimilar metal interfaces. Blue or black POM for colour-coding and visual assembly guidance.

Conveyor & AutomationDevis →
Two POM conveyor and automation wear parts — conveyor equipment components (chain guides, wear strips, sprocket components) and automation equipment wear parts. POM is the dominant material for food-processing conveyor components because it combines FDA compliance (FDA 21 CFR 177.2470 for both homopolymer and copolymer grades), low friction against chain links (reducing drive motor load and chain wear), good chemical resistance to cleaning agents, and dimensional stability in the humid food-processing environment. For dry automation equipment, POM's self-lubricating property eliminates the lubrication maintenance interval required for bronze or nylon wear parts.
POM-011
CONVEYOR / 011 — FEATURED
Conveyor Equipment Parts — FDA Compliant
POM Delrin and POM copolymer conveyor chain guides, wear strips, end guides, and sprocket components for food processing, pharmaceutical packaging, and general product conveyor systems. FDA 21 CFR 177.2470 compliant natural (white/ivory) POM for all food-contact conveyor applications — not black or coloured POM which may contain non-food-approved pigments and cannot be FDA-cited. POM properties critical for conveyor application: (1) Low friction against chain links (dynamic CoF 0.20–0.35 dry) reduces conveyor drive motor load by 20–30% vs UHMW-PE in high-speed applications; (2) Dimensional stability in wet food plant environments — POM chain guide maintains profile within ±0.1mm in continuous water spray conditions where nylon would swell and bind; (3) Chemical resistance to NaOH (caustic soda, common CIP cleaning chemical), chlorine-based sanitisers, and acidic cleaning solutions at ambient temperature; (4) NSF/3-A dairy approval available on request for dairy processing applications. Profile tolerance ±0.05mm for chain guide fit; wear face Ra ≤0.8μm. T-slot and attachment bolt patterns to conveyor manufacturer standard (Intralox, Rexnord, Habasit dimensional standards).

Automation Wear Parts
POM Acetal automation equipment wear parts — cam followers, linear bearing inserts, stop blocks, and sliding interface components for pick-and-place and assembly automation. Ra ≤0.4μm sliding face; self-lubricating (no maintenance lubrication required); profile ±0.05mm. POM's consistent CoF from 0°C to 80°C operation enables predictable servo motor load calculation for automation design.

What POM Machining Requires
Different from Metal Machining
🌡
Thermal Expansion — 3× Steel
POM thermal expansion coefficient ~100×10⁻⁶/°C vs steel ~12×10⁻⁶/°C. For a POM bushing bored to H7 at 20°C, at 60°C operating temperature the bore expands by approximately 0.04mm per 10mm of diameter — potentially transitioning from H7 to H8. We discuss operating temperature at DFM review and adjust bore dimension to account for thermal expansion at service temperature when specified.
Operating temp. reviewBore compensation
💧
Low Moisture Absorption — H7 in Wet Environments
POM moisture absorption <0.25% — dimensional change in water immersion is <0.1mm per 100mm of dimension, allowing H7 bore tolerance to be maintained in wet food-processing and humid environments. This is POM's decisive advantage over nylon (2.5–8% moisture absorption, dimensional change 0.3–1.5mm per 100mm) for precision bore applications. We specify POM (not nylon) for all applications where tight bore tolerance must be maintained in service.

⚙
Gear Tooth Machining — Form Mill or Hob
POM gears machined by two methods: CNC form milling (involute profile milled with single form cutter, all module sizes, slower, suitable for small quantities); gear hobbing (dedicated gear hobbing machine, Module ≥0.5 standard DIN 867 profile, tooth accuracy DIN class 9–10, faster for production quantities). Gear blank bore H7 and OD to tolerance machined first; tooth cutting performed after bore qualification to ensure bore-to-tooth concentricity.

Choix des matériaux
POM Grades for Every Engineering Application
POM grade selection is determined by section thickness, FDA requirement, and whether enhanced properties (glass-filled, PTFE-filled, UV-stable) are required.
MAT / 01
POM Homopolymer (Delrin)
Higher stiffness · Sections <25mm
DuPont Delrin brand homopolymer POM. Highest stiffness and hardness of POM grades — preferred for gears (Module ≤2, OD <60mm) where maximum tooth rigidity is required. Natural (white/ivory) for FDA food contact; black for general industrial. Avoid centreline porosity risk in sections >25mm — specify copolymer POM for thick sections.
EngrenagesSections <25mm
MAT / 02
POM Copolymer (Acetal/Celcon)
Better chemical resistance · All section sizes
Copolymer POM (Celanese Celcon, various brands). Better chemical resistance than homopolymer — more resistant to strong bases; lower tendency to centreline porosity in thick sections (>25mm). Slightly lower stiffness than homopolymer. Standard for bushings, slide blocks, fixture blocks, and all structural parts >25mm thickness. Natural (white) for FDA applications.

MAT / 03
POM + PTFE Filled
Lower friction · Self-lubricating enhanced
POM with 5–15% PTFE filler — CoF reduced to 0.08–0.15 against steel (vs 0.20–0.35 unfilled POM). Specified for slide blocks and bushings in continuous sliding contact where lower friction reduces drive force and heat generation. Slightly lower mechanical strength than unfilled POM — check load requirements at DFM.
Slide blocksDouilles
MAT / 04
POM + Glass Filled (GF20)
Higher stiffness · Gear heavy load
POM with 20% glass fibre — stiffness increased to ~5 GPa (vs 2.8 GPa unfilled). Used for gears and structural parts under high compressive load where unfilled POM deflects. Rougher surface finish than unfilled POM — not for sliding contact surfaces without secondary finish. Lower self-lubricating behaviour (glass acts as abrasive, not lubricant).

Pourquoi les ingénieurs choisissent nos POM Parts
H7
H7 Bore in Wet Service — POM Not Nylon
We specify POM (not nylon) for all applications requiring H7 bore tolerance in wet or humid environments. Nylon absorbs 2.5–8% moisture and swells by 0.3–1.5mm per 100mm — a nylon bushing bored to H7 will bind on its shaft within days of water contact. POM moisture absorption <0.25% keeps the bore within H7/H8 in continuous water service.
Temp
Operating Temperature — Bore Compensation
POM thermal expansion is 3× steel — at 80°C, a 20mm POM bore expands approximately 0.1mm. For applications at elevated temperature, we adjust the bore dimension at DFM so the H7 fit is achieved at operating temperature, not just at room temperature. We ask about operating temperature before machining, not after the customer reports binding in service.
FDA
FDA Natural POM — Correct Grade Specified
FDA compliance (21 CFR 177.2470) applies only to natural (white/ivory) POM — not black or coloured POM which may contain non-food-approved carbon black or colour pigments. We specify natural POM automatically for all food-contact enquiries and flag if the customer has specified black POM for a food-contact application.
CoP
Copolymer for Thick Sections
Homopolymer POM (Delrin) can develop centreline porosity in sections >25mm diameter from crystallisation shrinkage — invisible externally but causing mechanical weakness along the centreline. We specify copolymer POM for all turning stock >25mm diameter, regardless of whether the customer has specified Delrin by name. Both grades machine identically; the distinction matters only for material quality.
Foire aux questions
POM / Acetal / Delrin — Questions fréquentes
POM (polyoxymethylene) is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with unique properties for precision plastic parts: low friction (CoF 0.20–0.35, self-lubricating); low moisture absorption <0.25% (maintains H7 bore in wet environments); high stiffness (2.8 GPa) for gears and bearings; good machinability — achieves H7 bore and ±0.05mm profile. 'Delrin' = DuPont's homopolymer POM (higher stiffness); 'Acetal' = copolymer POM (better chemical resistance, use for sections >25mm). Both machine identically.
Bore: H7 (±0.010–0.025mm). OD: h7. OD runout: ≤0.05mm. Profil : ±0,05mm. Planéité de face : ±0,02mm. Surface : Ra ≤0,4 μm sliding faces. Key consideration: POM thermal expansion is 3× steel — bore must be sized for operating temperature, not just room temperature. For applications above 60°C, discuss with us at DFM to allow bore thermal compensation.
Oui — natural (white) POM is FDA compliant per 21 CFR 177.2470. Important: black and coloured POM may contain non-FDA-approved pigments — only natural/white POM is FDA citable for food contact. POM is ideal for food-processing conveyor guides, wear strips, and sprocket components: low friction, good cleaning chemical resistance, dimensional stability in humid environments. NSF/3-A dairy approval available on request.
