Plastic and plain bearing specialist igus enhances its special program for tribo polymer applications with iglidur semi-finished products in new sizes and diameters. Round bars are available in lengths from 100-1,000 mm and in diameters from 10-100 mm; iglidur plates in thickness of 2-25 mm lie in store at igus. With these additional widths, designers gain more scope for individual design. Upon request, igus offers the manufacturing of special parts according to the drawing.
iglidur round bars and plates from the tribo polymer specialist igus are becoming more and more diverse and facilitates users adaptations of individual machine requirements. Mechanically, machined bearings made of lubrication-free igus high-performance plastics are used wherever standard moulded parts are not worth the effort. Therefore, the bearings are also appropriated for special parts as well as for smallest and medium series. With the scale of materials and sizes it is possible, to quickly make prototypes and to test the applicability for the series in a cost-effective way.
Large range of materials and sizesBecause igus tribo semi-finished products as well as the bearings are made of the tested iglidur plain bearing materials, all respective bearings can be calculated in advance online with the help of the specially developed expert system. Meanwhile, 10 iglidur materials with specific features are available for a large variety of branches, such as the food, tobacco or automobile industry. Round materials, for example in the blue iglidur A350 material were available in diameters of 30, 40, 50 and 60 mm. Now they are also available in the small 20 mm diameter. They are suitable for medium to high loads and temperatures up to +180 C. In addition, they conform with FDA requirements and the first choice for the food industry. Round bars made of the material J 4 are now available in four new dimensions: in length of 20, 40, 50 and 60 mm.
