Lubrication-free Polymer Ball Bearings from igus
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus® now offers lubrication-free polymer ball bearings due to increasing customer demand for maintenance-free solutions in this area. The company’s Xiros ball bearings are technically optimized, available from stock and have a predictable service life. They are designed to fill the gap where conventional ball bearing performance is limited by parameters […]
Mini Polymer Bearing
The iglubal spherical bearing line includes a mini plain bearing. The self-aligning bearing is light and compact, requires no lubrication, is simple to install, and adapts to all angular misalignments. The housing and spherical ball liner absorb vibrations differently than steel: the rotational, swiveling and oscillating movements of the self supporting shaft take place within the spherical cap, which has a dampening effect. Its […]
Plastic Bearings Take High Loads
When both shock and impact loads are present, such as in oscillating applications, the bearing can make all the difference. The iglide Q is a maintenance-free alternative to bronze, metal-backed and custom injection-molded bearings. Even at maximum loads of 14,500 lb/psi, it offers a low coefficient of friction compared with other iglide plain bearings. As […]
