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.

(-400°F to +550°F)
up to 69 bar (1000 psi)
2 m/s
Similar to bronze, powered metal and steel
Standard sizes from 3 mm to 80 mm, other sizes available on demand.
Ra 0.2 to 0.4 um
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.
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.
Omniseal® Bearings are self-lubricating polymer components that minimize friction and wear between moving surfaces, enabling smooth, maintenance-free operation without external lubrication.
Omniseal® Bearings offer low friction, wear resistance, chemical and corrosion resistance, and a wide operating temperature range (–240 °C to +315 °C) for maintenance-free performance.
Omniseal® Bearings are used in aerospace, industrial, food processing, pharmaceutical, and precision machinery applications requiring low wear and lubrication-free performance.
Yes. Omniseal® Bearings include sleeve, flange, and thrust types, with customization available for size, shape, and material to meet specific application needs.
Omniseal® Bearings are made from Rulon®, Meldin®, and Hycomp™ Composite compounds, optionally filled for enhanced wear resistance, load capacity, and chemical compatibility.
