Handles sharp changes in temperature
10 January 2014
igubal pillow block bearings from tribo-polymer specialist igus are providing a solution for a wide range of applications within the solar technology and food industries.

Offering resistance to temperatures of up to 80°C, these bearings can be used wherever there are severe fluctuations in temperature.
With an inside diameter tolerance of E10 and a shaft tolerance of h6 to h9, igus pillow block bearings accommodate shaft misalignments, allowing for tilting and bending applications. In addition, their spherical movement prevents edge loads.
Advantages claimed include dry running and corrosion-free properties, resistance to harsh chemicals, light-weight design and high radial loads. In addition, the bearings are virtually maintenance-free, easy to install, space saving and have a predictable lifespan, in line with the igus ‘plastics for longer life’ mantra.
