igus bearings are available in a variety
of polymer materials, each with
different properties and the company
can custom-design a bearing for
almost any application.

igus polymer materials are
composed of a base polymer, fibres
and filling material and a solid
lubricant. The type of polymer
material used determines the bearing’s
properties; for example, its resistance
to temperature extremes or chemicals
as well as the life of the product.

The polymer bearings are entirely
lubricant free.Where there is surfaceto-
surface contact, or any sliding
motion, the solid lubricant is always
present, making the polymer bearing
entirely self-lubricating.

This tribological technology is used
throughout the igus bearing range,
including the iglidur plain bearings,
xiros ball bearings, igubal spherical
bearings, PRT slewing rings and
DryLin linear systems.
