The switch to igutex® polymer bearings for long standing customer and agricultural equipment manufacturer Sumo UK Ltd, has allowed them to produce longer lasting, durable machinery and save on the cost of standard metal bearings that require lubrication. Finding bearings that are cost-effective, tough enough to take on the most heavy-duty loads, and that minimise […]
igus launches a new lubrication-free material, for bearings needing higher running performance with high dynamic forces, ideal for heavy-duty applications. igus has developed plain bearings made from high-strength, fibre-wound materials – the igutex bearing family. These use carbon fibre embedded in the material and are used where very high impact loads occur and where injection-moulded […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
