Rulon bearings outperform metal materials, and are ideal for non-lubricated, high-load applications in punishing environments. Rulon bearings are heavy-duty, rust-resistant, long-wearing, and cost-efficient.
When your application calls for Rulon – you should call TriStar. With the largest US inventory and multiple distribution centers, we have what you need, when you need it. Our Rulon Bearing Selector Guide, will help you match the right composite bearing material to the job.
Provides maintenance-free operation and eliminates the need for costly and messy greasing systems.
Reduces wear and extends operating life and increases the efficiency of the equipment.
Operates flawlessly in temperatures ranging from cryogenic levels to a high of 550°F (288°C).
(Water, corrosive liquids, and chemical solutions.) Absorption rates are negligible, providing near zero swell.
Compatible with a wide range of lubricants and media.
Suitable for press fit, freeze fit, epoxy bonding, as well as conventional mechanical retention.
Accommodates lightweight construction.
Similar to bronze, powdered metal and steel.
