RULON® LR

Rulon® LR is a maroon colored bearing material best known for its versatile design properties.
It is compatible with most hardened steel substrates. Mild steel is acceptable; harder running surfaces are better.

Rulon® LR has a practically universal chemical inertness. Of the chemicals encountered in commercial practice, only molten sodium and fluorine, at elevated temperatures and pressures, show any signs of attack.

For continuous non-lubricated service, Rulon® LR sleeve bearings are capable of operating up to 10,000 PV. Higher values are possible for intermittent service.

Rulon® J is an all-polymeric reinforced, dull gold colored PTFE compound that operates exceptionally well against soft mating surfaces such as 316 stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, brass and other plastics. The unique "shaft friendly" material is also low in friction and wear and self-lubricating.

Rulon® J has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of most reinforced PTFE materials. This makes it ideally suited for start/stop applications where stick-slip must be eliminated. The tribological properties of this material also make it suitable for both bearing and wear component applications.
