POM, often referred to as Delrin or acetal in procurement conversations, is a strong fit for motion-related plastic parts. It machines cleanly, holds dimensions well, and supports a lower-friction surface than many general plastics.
This makes it especially attractive for wear strips, gears, bearing-like components, guides, and precision housings where repeatability matters more than surface cosmetics or transparency.

Yes. Delrin is one of the most practical CNC plastics for gears, guides, wear parts, and precise mechanical components because it machines well and provides strong dimensional stability.
POM is usually preferred when low friction, wear behavior, and dimensional precision matter more. ABS is often the better choice for general housings and appearance-focused prototype parts.
Yes. It is commonly used for gears, guides, rollers, and sliding features, provided the design is reviewed for load, wear, and environment.
