igus igubal spherical ball bearings

Pillow blocks and flange bearings are often exposed to extreme loads such as dirt and dust, and so machine and plant operators must ensure reliable lubrication. With igus spherical balls made of the plastic iglidur J, users can now rely on a lubrication-free and maintenance-free bearing solution.

The special feature of the material is that the bearing no longer needs to be lubricated and is therefore maintenance-free. The narrow igubal spherical balls come directly from the injection moulding process and can be inserted into existing metallic pillow block and flange bearing housings within a few seconds. Another advantage is that due to the absence of lubricant, dirt and impurities can no longer adhere to the bearings, which further minimises wear. Thus, there is no long downtime of the machines and plant.

The spherical balls made of iglidur J are not only cost effective, but also have a very low coefficient of friction in dry operation. The material absorbs little moisture, so that the use of the spherical balls is also suitable for outdoor use. Due to the chemical resistance of the high-performance plastic, the use of exchangeable spherical balls is also suitable for use in chemically demanding applications such as agricultural technology.
