Rulon 488 as a Replacement for Carbon
Posted by Dave Biering on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 @ 09:54 AM
I recently had a call from an engineer looking to replace a carbon bushing in a veneer application. Our Rulon 488 material has become the material-of-choice for veneer dryer bearings used in plywood and similar industries. Rulon 488 has a unique filler that causes the bearing to actually improve its thermal properties as the temperature rises. It also delivers exceptional wear and resists corrosion, especially in dry environments. It can be used in hydrogen and natural gas compressors. Learn how Rulon 488 has outperformed bronze on the brake calipers of amusement park rides.
