RULONRULON ® ® 1045/Rulon® 1045 is a dull gold material that hasan excellent ability to elongate in a flip sealapplication. Coupled with excellent frictionalcharacteristics, it offers the added benefit ofenergy savings, as well as increased sealingefficiency.This material is also resistant to many harshchemicals found in the applicationenvironments where it is typically used. It isalso compatible with most commerciallyavailable lubricants for additional reductionin friction.Its low deformation properties allow it to beeffective as a bearing or sliding surface.Typical Product andApplication DescriptionProducts• Automatically moldedbearings & components• Sleeve, flanged andthrust bearings• Piston rings & flip seals• Stamped and formedseals• Extruded shapes• Machined parts• Molded shapesApplications• AC Compressors• Transmissions• Air Compressors• Appliances• Automotive• Linear slides• Fluid transfer systems• Vacuum Pumps• ValvesDesign CriteriaRulon 1045Temperature - Typical Range ˚F (˚C)Maximum PV (continuous)(MPa•m/s)Maximum P - psi (static)(MPa)Maximum V -SFM (no load)(m/s)Shaft Hardness - MinimumShaft finish recommended Ra (µ”/µm)Shaft MaterialEngineering InformationFriction - static & dynamicFlammability ASTM D635Chemical ResistanceLinear Coefficient of (78˚-200˚F)Thermal Expansion (26˚ -93˚C)Physical DataElongation ASTM D638Tensile Strength ASTM D638(MPa)Specific Gravity-400/+550 (-240/288)10,000 (0.35)*1,000 (6.9)*400 (2)*Rb258 - 16 (0.2-0.4)*Stainless toHardened SteelA more complete data sheet is available upon request.*Metric measurements in parentheses.10-.20Non-FlammableData availableDiameter 6.5x10 -5 (11.7)*Length 6.5x10 -5 (11.7)*450%3900 psi (26.9)*2.1115
