Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Thrust Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Rulon J bearings create the least amount of friction of any bearing that we offer. They handle heavier loads than PTFE bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Food Industry Dry-Running Thrust Bearings

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Rulon 641 bearings are stronger than UHMW bearings and withstand a wider range of temperatures.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Water-Resistant Dry-Running Thrust Bearings

Good for underwater applications, these bearings won’t swell or warp when wet.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
