Plain bearing
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 […]
Our TX bearings are not injection moulded like our other iglidur® plain bearings. These bearings have an interwoven design, each layer incorporating solid lubricants, which not only means no lubrication but it also increases the mechanical strength compared to moulded bearings. These are ideal for high mechanical loads and are 3 times stronger than their […]
