Free-lubricated and long-lived iglidur plastic ball body easily replace the metal housing and flange bearings
In construction machinery or glass and clay products conveying system applications, bearing housings and flange bearings are often exposed to harsh conditions such as dirt and dust, and the operator must provide reliable lubrication of machinery and equipment.In response, The igus non-lubricated and maintenance-free solution is well worth a try.The new igus plastic ball is made of high-performance plastic iglidur J and can be used in just a few seconds.

Large amounts of dust, dirt and debris often impact the extreme loads on the bearing housings and flange bearings, and metal bearings must be regularly maintained and lubricated to ensure trouble-free operation in such situations. For such applications, Sporting plastic specialist igus uses plastic spheres made of high-performance plastic iglidur J in its bearing product range. These bearings are lubricated and maintenance-free. Igubal narrow plastic spheres are made directly from the injection molding process and are easy to install, Seconds into the existing metal sleeve seat and flange bearing seat Another advantage of its lubrication-free, because there is no lubricant, dust and impurities are no longer attached to the bearing, which further reduces wear and therefore, Significantly reduce machine and equipment downtime igubal plastic spheres have a long service life and have been validated in biomass chippers.Metal bearings on machine belts are lubricated every month and are retrofitted with igubal plastic ball bearings without wear within a year, no lubrication and maintenance.
Iglidur J ensures lubricated operation even in harsh conditions
Plastic balls made of iglidur J material are not only cost-effective, but also have a very low coefficient of friction during dry running. The material is hygroscopic and suitable for outdoor applications; because of its chemical resistance, replaceable plastic spheres Suitable for demanding chemical applications such as agricultural technology, the advantages of iglidur J are particularly pronounced on flexible shafts. Currently, igubal plastic spheres are available in six sizes for 204-210 housings. Igus also produces according to customer requirements Plastic spheres made of other iglidur materials As an alternative to injection molding, customers can also select the material they need from the iglidur stock rod product line to machine plastic spheres.
