Q: What are common uses for current laminated rods?

Laminated tubing can be used for aircraft window shade rollers, coil forms, spacers in electronic equipment or heavy machinery, standoffs for printed circuit boards, sleeve bearings, welding Laminated rods can be used for applications requiring electrical insulation and mechanical strength, conveniently it also operates with much less noise than metal. Rods can be used as rollers, guides, in pulleys, and machining components. These products are NEMA grade quality and can be trimmed to any size, allowing the material to be machined into screw machines, spacers, standoffs, shoulder washers. Depending on the material, laminated rods can be used in both dry and humid conditions.
