Mini Polymer Bearing

February 26, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

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 […]

This Cable Carrier Goes Only Where You Want it to Go

February 26, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Because of its smooth, tubular design, “Triflex R”—‘R’ for ‘round,’ multi-axis cable carrier protects moving cables and hoses on 6 axis robots in demanding industrial environments, such as in automotive production plants or welding applications.  The cable management system can move multi-dimensionally through all axes and can twist up to 380º per yard, making movement […]

Plastic Bearings Take High Loads

February 26, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

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 […]
