Tube

Starting from tube instead of solid rod saves material and machine time on any hollow part. Bushings, bearing sleeves, rollers, spacers, liners, and standoffs all come out of tube faster and cheaper than they do from bar stock. Colorado Plastic Products stocks plastic tube in a range of outside and inside diameters, in both extruded and cast forms depending on the material.

Clear acrylic and polycarbonate tube handle display cases, light diffusers, cylinders, and protective sleeves where you need to see through the wall. Nylon, acetal, UHMW, and PTFE tube handle the mechanical side- low friction, wear resistance, and quiet running against metal. PVC tube covers corrosion-resistant fluid work. Every piece is cut to your length, with no minimum order. If your ID and OD do not line up with a stocked size, machining from the next size up is often the faster answer, and we can talk through it.
