Polymer slewing rings from igus are
ready-to-fit solutions that require
neither lubrication nor maintenance.
They can be used to replace ballbearing type rotary tables or systems and can be used in a wide variety of applications, usually pivoting. The tough, yet light weight iglidur PRT slewing ring bearings are corrosionfree, and the sliding parts are made of the tribo-optimised special material iglidur J.
Housing parts are made of aluminium (316 stainless steel versions are available), the iglidur sliding parts run on hard anodised aluminium, and all connecting screws are made of stainless steel.
