The igus plain bearings catalogue already lists more than 12,000 products that are available from stock. More products are added to it, such as the high-temperature material iglidur X in large dimensions from 80 mm inner diameter. (Source: igus GmbH)
The diverse catalogue range has become wider still
to offer the right plain bearing for every application. And they are quickly
available from stock.
The
igus plain bearings catalogue is currently comprised of around 12,000 products.
This autumn 117 more iglidur products will be added, which at igus also means
offering this item ready from stock. Among other new entries, is the extension
of available sizes consisting of the high tech, extremely temperature- and chemically-resistant
material: iglidur X six new dimensions from 80 to 120 mm inner diameter. “Until
now, there were primarily the ‘standard materials’ iglidur G, J and W300 in
these large diameters.
Our high-temperature classic iglidur X was missing here,”
explains René Achnitz, head of the iglidur plain bearings business unit at
igus. The material is suitable for continuous use at temperatures from -100°C
to +250°C and has a very high compressive strength and universal chemical
resistance. The extension of the standard range results from the requirements of
laboratory and practical tests, and also from direct contact with customers.
Both
the high number of catalogue products as well as the steady growth is largely
due to the variety of materials offered by igus. The spectrum ranges from the cost-effective
iglidur all-round bearings and FDA-compliant bearings, to high temperature and
underwater bearings. This ability to offer almost any plain bearing for any
situation is also illustrated in the dry-tech sample box, which can be ordered
at igus free of charge by visiting www.igus.eu/box.
The box is an "offline-analogue" option of the product finder at
igus. Thanks to the enclosed overlay cards, the various materials can be
filtered according to different criteria such as temperature, chemical
resistance or food contact just as in the online configurator. This can then
determine the ideal material for the individual application.
Install and forget
iglidur
plain bearings do not need external lubrication, making them completely maintenance-free
excelling in dry operation. Following the motto “Install and forget”, they
reliably operate throughout their service life contributing to the safety of
machines. Indeed, the failure costs due to insufficient lubrication alone in
the United States , according
to the MIT in Boston ,
are around 240 billion dollars. The service life of the plain bearings can
easily be predicted online. The basis for this is drawn from the results of
continuous in-house tests at igus for durability, friction and wear in the test
laboratory spread over 1,750 square metres. Over 15,000 plain bearing tests are
performed every year.
