Misumi Introduces Tough New Line of Polycarbonate Pipes

By Miles Budimir | May 18, 2010

Schaumburg, IL – Misumi USA, Inc. introduces a new line of Polycarbonate Pipes to its comprehensive array of bars, pipes and rods. The Polycarbonate Pipes are designed for use in building and assembly of a wide range of automated industrial machinery, factory automation and manufacturing systems in many industries, including Medical and Food.

Designated as Misumi Part Number PIJC, the Polycarbonate Pipes are available in a variety of pipe diameters ranging from 13 to 89mm. Tolerances vary according to outer diameter and length selected, and length is configurable in 1mm increments.

Manufactured of tough polycarbonate to stringent quality standards, the new pipes offer the highest level of impact strength among all transparent resin materials – their impact absorption is approximately 30 times higher than that of acrylic resin. Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in the chemical and other industries because of its inherent strength, impact absorption, and excellent resistance to both high and low temperatures. Shipping time for the new Polycarbonate Pipes is six days.

Specification Changes in Resin Rods

Misumi also announced additions to some of its existing Resin Rod products. These versions include:
* Misumi Selectable Resin Rods, Product Numbers RDJS and RDJX ─ PPS and ABS resin options are additions  to an already diverse line of resin rods. All resin rods can now also be cut with more precise length tolerance using ordering alteration designation LKC.
       –> 10 ~400mm +/- 0.3
       –> 401 ~800mm +/- 0.8

* The new LKC option is also available for white and black polyacetal and epoxy glass rods, Product Numbers RDPJ, RDPK , and RDPE.

All Resin Rod products are available in a wide range of sizes, with length configurable in 1mm increments. Volume pricing is available and published. All of Misumi’s Resin Rods, Precision Resin Rods, Resin Pipes and Polycarbonate Pipes are RoHS compliant, fully meeting the EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances Standard.
