Duralon & Tuflite Filament Bearings

Regal Rexnord composite filament-wound bearings are on the cutting edge of bearing technology. These filament-wound bearings are engineered for versatility, seamlessly integrating into numerous applications, and requiring minimal maintenance, thanks to their self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant design. The unique woven polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiber-liner eliminates the need for lubrication, while the fiberglass and epoxy resin matrix ensures flexibility, strength, and lightness. Ideal for reducing maintenance time and cost, Regal Rexnord filament bearings streamline efficiency in even the most demanding environments.

Choose dependable Duralon™ bearings for various applications such as construction equipment, material handling cranes and forklifts, hydraulic & pneumatic cylinders, recreational vehicles, and food packaging machinery. 

Trusted Tuflite® bearings are built to meet the demanding needs of commercial and military aerospace, naval, military land vehicle, and space applications.
