| Iglide plastic bearings are available in 20 material blends to deliver tailored performance for any application
The bearing selection process requires a much deeper analysis than just a choice of plastic vs. bronze, steel or ball bearings. Factors such as speed, load and temperature play a cruical role in determining which iglide bearing will perform best for a customer’s unique application. Igus’ predictability calculator encompasses decades of test data and research performed in the lab and in the field, to deliver a robust, reliable agent for determining wear rates and bearing performance in an applicaton. There is an iglide material designed especially for a variety of specifications, such as the iglide Z for high temperatures, or iglide D for low friction. All iglide bearings are self-lubricating and maintenance-free. Iglide bearings will not corrode, deliver excellent vibration dampening and are UV-resistant. They are molded in standard inch and metric sizes for easy retrofit into preexisting housings. Iglide bearings are designed to be press fit, directly into the housing, which eliminates the need for special tools and lubricants. Application uses for iglide bearings run the gamut from agricultural and lawn equipment, to construction, fitness and sports equipment; semi-conductor production equipment, medical devices, textile machinery, machine tools, packaging and material handling machinery, automotive equipment and more.
