With the new quick release igubal ball and socket joints
from igus, the holding force remains constant even after repeated assembly and
disassembly of ball pins. A click-in mechanism, which can be closed by hand and
simply opened with a screwdriver, ensures that the ball pins remained stable
and were easily disassembled again at the same time. The ball and socket joint
is made of the 100 percent high-performance plastic igumid, which makes it
absolutely corrosion-free, requiring no maintenance or lubrication.
"Even when the ball and socket joints need to be released
quickly for maintenance in the automotive industry for gas springs, pneumatic
cylinders, linkage or sensor connections or even in machine and plant
construction, the high holding force of the new angle joints of 300 N always
remains the same in the assembled state," explains Thomas Preißner, head
of igubal spherical bearings at the igus GmbH. The ball pins that are clipped
into the ball and socket joint, are available in plastic, stainless steel or
galvanised steel. "For the latter there are also ball pins with internal
thread, whereby other components and assembly processes can be saved."
Various sizes or
custom solutions available
Currently, the ball and socket joints for ball pins with
8 mm diameter and M5 thread, as well as 10 mm diameter and M6 thread are
available from stock at igus - other sizes are already being planned.
Customised solutions according to the modular principle are also possible, for
example with sealing caps or as coupling rods with customised depth gauge.
