Rulon Bearings
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Turcite® X Self-Lubricating Copolymer POM
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM); Acetal Copolymer, Unreinforced

Material Notes: Turcite® is a self-lubricating Acetal-based thermoplastic bearing material. Turcite® X excels in low load and high speed applications, and can be easily machined. It has minimal hygroscopic characteristics and possesses low thermal expansion properties, resulting in a structurally stable material. Its maximum continuous service temperature is also 180F (80C). It is red in color.

Key Properties:

  • Turcite® X has a lower friction than Turcite® A
  • Self-lubricating
  • Maintenance-free, long-wearing bearings
  • Low cost
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Moisture resistant
  • Always oven annealed stress-relief
Applications:
  • Bearing
  • Bushings
  • Cam followers
  • Cams
  • Gears
  • Guides
