When every gram counts: Polymer plain bearings on carbon fibre shafts convince in the test

By admin December 12, 2013 8:04 am

Test series in the igus test laboratory identify iglidur J260 as optimal material in combination with shafts made of carbon.
With tribo polymers and carbon two future marking materials meet and this combination promises low weight and low wear. The igus GmbH from Cologne has now found the optimal iglidur plain bearing material with iglidur J260 for the use on carbon fibre shafts. Previously 25 iglidur variants were tested on the test bench to prove its durability at linear short-stroke applications.
Over a number of months igus performed and evaluated test runs. Because carbon fibre shafts are relatively new on the market, the material experts from igus GmbH faced an experiment with an open result. Above all it became clear, that materials, which harmonise perfectly with metal shafts, don’t necessarily have to be the first choice for carbon fibre shafts. iglidur J260 was the clear winner on the test bench in view of wear, abrasion and driving force. All in all, the material passed double strokes with a length of 5 millimetres for more than 200 hours. It doesn’t only harmonise perfectly with plastic, but also with carbon fibre shafts and guarantees highest service life for the plain bearing.
