Plain bearing
The iglidur ECO series is expanded to include a chemical-resistant ECO P210 variant igus knows that plastic is a valuable resource and waste must be minimised, so it has launched a regranulated compound for the iglidur ECO plain bearing series from sprues and missing parts from injection moulding production. Launched in October 2023, the new […]
FastLine service with online configurator from igus for developers in the any industry Automotive designers and buyers are accustomed to long lead times. To make an injection moulding tool for a mass-produced, wear-resistant special component, they would typically have to wait up to six weeks. Time that igus can now reduce to just seven days […]
igus launches a new lubrication-free material, for bearings needing higher running performance with high dynamic forces, ideal for heavy-duty applications. In applications with loads of more than 80Mpa, plain bearings made of thermoplastic materials can be pushing their physical limits. Igus has expanded the existing range of standard plain bearings with the new igutex fibre-wound […]
Have high wear components coated with the online iglidur Coating Designer in just three steps, plus cost and delivery is calculated before you buy. Functional surface coatings are an integral part of industrial life, keeping moving parts from wearing. With the iglidur coating materials from igus, heavily stressed components can be further protected against wear. […]
In applications where you want to change your metallic bearing for a plastic one, you might be concerned at the capabilities of the latter. Plastic bearings are more capable than you may think, and in some cases, using the technology of a plastic bearing and creating something else is the answer. In this weeks’ “video […]
Labour shortages and carbon emissions of petrol mowers means robotic lawn mowers are on the rise. Kingdom Technologies turned to igus to help keep its pay-per-use robotic mower maintenance-free. The greenskeeper surveys drone footage of the golf club. It’s a long fairway and the entire course needs cutting – this one alone could take all […]
iglidur tribopolymer plain bearings reduce the use of lubricants, cutting costs and ensuring maintenance-free operation Construction and agricultural machinery users want to save money and significantly reduce maintenance. Dry running iglidur plain bearings from igus are suitable for precisely these applications. When servicing construction and agricultural machinery, lubricating the bearing points is one of the […]
A hygienically designed rotary bearing in the iglidur PRT series enables cleaning without disassembly for hygiene-intensive industries Hygienic design slewing ring bearings have typically been in short supply when it comes to the food industry.. Manufacturers of machinery for hygiene-sensitive areas have therefore often had to design additional protection covers. But now igus is reshuffling […]
Quick indication of carbon footprint of iglidur bearings at igus online shop simplifies CO2 balancing for customers How much CO2 is released into the atmosphere in the production of a plastic plain bearing? For the first time, igus has published accurate CO2 reductions for a large number of its lubrication- and maintenance-free iglidur polymer plain […]
The sustainable iglidur materials ECO H, ECO P, ECO A180 and ECO G consist of regranulate so conserve resources, and abrasion-resistance helps to reduce microplastics. Social change, responsibility towards the environment and changes in how plastics are handled are leaving their mark on industry. For customers who want a more sustainable design for their moving […]
