Rulon® materials can outperform metals with non-lubricated, high load applications in a variety of climates and operating environments. They exhibit a high load capacity similar to bronze, metal and steel, and provide longer wear and extended operating life without the costs associated with lubrication.
The bearings can be designed and manufactured into special shapes to accommodate typical dimensional tolerances.

Fluoroloy® Fluoropolymers
High performance proprietary material formulations
Consisting of a family of proprietary materials that are composed primarily of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based resins, the different grades of this high-performance polymer material have been specifically formulated to meet the needs of challenging applications and the different applicable certifications. For example, some grades were designed to be USDA, USP, and/or FDA compliant and therefore well suited for life science equipment such as harmonic scalpels or chemical analyzers.
Used in
when low friction or high wear life / abrasion resistance is needed
Meldin® Polyimides
High Temperature Polymer Material Solutions
Meldin® polyimide material solutions exhibit high dimensional stability at high temperatures and longer life at higher loads and speeds. With Omniseal Solutions™, total control on the process from the powder to the parts is guaranteed. Solutions include bearings, wear components, piston rings, vanes, thrust washers, and of course seals. This is in addition to custom shapes, rods, sheets, and tubes. These solutions are found in a multitude of industries such as aviation, industrial, semi-conductor, space, and life science.
Used in
where high thermal resistance and good mechanical properties are required
