RULON® Composites are ideal for non-lubricated, high-load applications in a variety of climates and operating environments, exhibit a high load capacity similar to bronze, powdered metal and steel, and provide longer wear and extended operating life without the costs associated with lubrication.
RULON® materials also do not rust like metal components, so you can use them in environments where traditional metals corrode and fail. You will find Saint-Gobain Performance bearing materials in heavy-duty agricultural, automotive, construction, industrial, marine, railway, and material handling equipment.
RULON® components are rigid enough to support heavy loads, yet compliant enough to tolerate moderate amounts of shaft misalignment without highly stressing the ends of the bearings.
Our most popular grades are RULON® LR, RULON® J, and RULON® 641.
