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

Material Notes: Description: 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

J Grade Bearing/Seal PTFE: Rulon J provides the lowest coefficient of friction of all Rulons, and provides good wear and abrasion resistance even against aluminum and soft mating surfaces. Gold in color.

Suitable for use in environments of dry or vacuum type. Mating surface of steel/stainless steel Rc 25 and higher, or aluminum. Material has electrical and thermal insulation properties. Markets for J grade include Agricultural, Appliances, Automotive, Document Processing Equipment, Industrial, Transportation.
