What is Turcite material?
Turcite® is an internally lubricated, acetal-based material (with properties similar to those of Delrin AF) designed for applications with demanding wear and friction requirements. Turcite® creates little friction, is heat and chemical resistant, and exhibits excellent wear characteristics.
Who manufactures Turcite?
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions
Machine Tool Specialty Components Group supplies the original Turcite® manufactured by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. For over 30 years Busak Shamban (now known as Trelleborg Sealing Solutions) has manufactured high quality thermoplastic bearings and friction-reducing materials that are specified by OEMs world-wide.
What is Turcite used for?
Most commonly, Turcite® (Lubring) has been used in the machine tool industry where it serves to either replace or reinforce standard phosphor-bronze LM guideways. The material was earlier used primarily to recondition old machines in which the guideways had worn out.
What is Rulon material?
Rulon® is a proprietary, homogeneous material made primarily of PTFE-based resins engineered and developed for specific applications. The Rulon® family of materials combines high compressive strength, a low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance running without lubrication.
Is Rulon J FDA approved?
Rulon J, gold, polymer filled for more abrasion resistance and softer mating surface. Rulon 641, white, U.S. Food and Drug Administration compliant. Rulon W2, used in fresh water applications. Rulon 123, FDA compliant with low and consistent friction characteristics.
Who owns Rulon?
A St. Augustine manufacturing company is turning scrapwood into toy guitars for children around the world.In 2016, Wayne Robison, Rulon International’s president and CEO, came up with the idea to turn scrap into 10,000 guitars and donate them to sick children around the world.
What is Rulon made of?
What is Rulon J plastic?
Rulon® J is an all-polymeric reinforced, dull gold colored PTFE compound that operates exceptionally well against soft mating surfaces such as 316 stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, brass and other plastics. The unique “shaft friendly” material is also low in friction and wear, and self-lubricating.
What is Rulon J?
Is Rulon a PTFE?
Rulon® W2 is a black PTFE-based Carbon Filled polymer material solution developed for use in fresh-water applications. It exhibits low friction and excellent wear characteristics (one of the lowest wear rates in fresh water) as well as good thermal dissipation, preventing shaft distress.
What is turcite® X?
Turcite® X was engineered low load, high speed applications. Is has a long service life and an exceptionally low coefficient of friction. Minimal hygroscopic characteristics and low thermal expansion properties make Turcite® X a structurally stable material.
What are the characteristics of turcite?
Turcite® creates little friction, is heat and chemical resistant, and exhibits excellent wear characteristics. With its low water absorption, parts made from Turcite® retain their integrity throughout their life span. Turcite® B Slydway: See Size Chart under Technical Specifications
What is the difference between turcite A and B slydway?
It has a continuous maximum service temperature of 180° F but lower wear-resistance than Turcite® A. Color is red and it is available in rod only. Turcite®-B Slydway® is a low friction linear bearing strip material for use, primarily, on the ways and gibs of machine tools.
