Features:
- 2x threaded rods. Material: Nylon Polyamide 66 / PA66. Colour: Natural. Size: M5 x 500 mm. Diameter: 5mm. Pitch: 0.8mm. SKU: 968.
- The M5 PA66 format is a useful middle size for spacer and alignment work, with better handling than very small plastic threads.
- Wear-resistant plastic thread — suitable for light assemblies where nuts or compatible threaded parts may be fitted more than once.
- Fully threaded along the full 500 mm length, so matching M5 nuts can be positioned where the assembly needs them.
- Use for mid-size spacers, alignment rods and cut-to-length threaded pieces where M4 is too small but M6 is not needed, with careful tightening and checks for plastic-thread suitability.
Product Summary:
These M5 x 500 mm natural PA66 threaded rods are supplied as 2 fully threaded plastic rods. PA66, also called nylon polyamide 66, is a tough engineering plastic with useful wear resistance and good low-friction behaviour for nut fitting in light assemblies. This size is suited to mid-size spacers, alignment rods and cut-to-length threaded pieces where M4 is too small but M6 is not needed where a lighter non-metal rod is preferred. Nylon can absorb some moisture, so check thread fit and dimensional tolerance in damp or changing environments. Cut with suitable tools, avoid over-tightening the plastic thread and confirm material suitability before final use.
