EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Igus® Inc. offers iglide R, an economical, maintenance-free alternative to bronze bearings. Iglide R incurs little to no low wear even at high speeds and also is oil-free and resistant to dirt, dust and UV rays. These qualities make iglide R an ideal choice for agricultural and outdoor applications, specifically commercial mowers and golf course equipment, which benefit from its contamination-free properties.
Like all iglide bearings, iglide R is comprised of high-performance plastics that are lightweight and lubrication-free. Unlike bronze bushings, which require regular maintenance and lubrication, engineers can install iglide R and forget it. It will not only outlive its bronze counterparts, but also will reduce costs and never corrode.
Iglide R operates within a permissible temperature range of –58 degrees Fahrenheit to +230 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be used in linear, oscillating and rotating applications and is available in both sleeve and flange styles with inner diameters ranging from 3/16 of an inch to 2 inches. Iglide R can be used in a wide range of environments, including those where water or chemicals are present, due to its low moisture absorption and resistance to alcohol, greases, oils and fuels.
