Just machined bulkheads / centering rings and nose cone shoulder from Delrin® Acetal Resin.
It was selected due to the following properties:
Moisture resistance
Wear-resistants
Ability to hold tight tolerances
High strength and rigidity
Maintainability
On the down side, we failed to find a glue or resin that will adhere due to its slippery surface. If anyone intends to use this material, pay particular attention to bonded surfaces. For instance, we splined our centering rings in order to preclude movement.
According to the McMaster Carr spec sheet, the material density is 0.048 - 0.051 oz / cubic inch.
