Rulon Bearings
Saint-Gobain Rulon® E Bearing/Seal PTFE  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Material Notes: Rulon® is the Saint-Gobain trade name for their family of proprietary PTFE compounds. This family of materials offers the combination of high compressive strength, low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while running without lubrication. They are used in bearing and seal applications from temperature extremes of 400°F to over 500°F with and without additional lubricants. A unique property of Rulon® is the absence of stick slip, that is, erratic low-speed motion. PTFE = polytetrafluoroethylene

E Grade Bearing/Seal PTFE: Lowest deformation at elevated temperatures of any Rulon. Gray in color. Material does not have thermal or electrical insulating properties. Suitable for use in steam, wet, dry, or vacuum environments. Rc 35 or higher steel mating surface.
