Rulon (reinforced PTFE composite) combines high compressive strength with a low coefficient of friction and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while running without lubrication.

With versatile and high-performance characteristics that provide low friction and high wear life, cnc machined Rulon components excel in mechanical, electrical, and chemical applications. This specialized polymer offers self-lubricating design, dimensional stability in liquids, and excellent dielectric properties across a variety of environments. We machine multiple Rulon grades (including Rulon J, Rulon AR, Rulon 641, and Rulon LR) to meet your specific application requirements.

Key Advantages of Machined Rulon Components

1. Exceptional wear resistance and low friction
2. Self-lubricating properties
3. Extraordinary temperature range (-400°F to 500°F)
4. Excellent chemical resistance

Our precision-machined Rulon components serve critical applications in printers, copiers, air compressors, appliances, linear slides, wear bands, and valve systems. Rulon excels in dry bearings, oscillating bearings, and applications where stick-slip is undesirable. The automotive, aerospace, food processing, and medical industries particularly value Rulon's unique combination of low friction and high durability without external lubrication.
