What does “maintenance-free” mean“?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Many manufacturers declare their products to be “maintenance-free”. This usually means that the bearing in question is delivered with initial lubrication. As long as this lubrication is intact, no maintenance of any kind is necessary. iglidur plastics, in contrast, do not have a lubricating film and no reservoir of grease that is eventually used up. The […]

Can I clamp iglidur PRT slewing rings on shafts? Are there split slewing rings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Yes. iglidur PRT-01-20-C and PRT-01-30-C are types that can be clamped on shafts. If required, we also make split PRTs that can be fitted around cable harnesses or tubes. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

Which iglidur plain bearings are suitable for use in the agricultural area?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

All iglidur materials have advantages in this respect. They are insensitive to dirt, completely corrosion-free and do not need any lubrication. In many places where bearings are used in the agricultural area, large forces as well as impacts and shocks have an effect. Especially robust and durable iglidur materials such as iglidur G or iglidur M250 are particularly suitable […]

What is the minimum quantity above which making customised components out of iglidur materials is worthwhile? Is there a minimum order quantity/minimum batch size?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Due to the different manufacturing methods, we are able to offer economical solutions for every need: from rapid prototyping to large series from complex injection moulds with multiple activities. And all this without any minimum batch size or minimum order value. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

When and how do I need to anneal plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

“Annealing” is the heat treatment of materials over a long period of time. In the case of plain bearings, this treatment helps to reduce mechanical tension in the component and thus to ensure or improve the press-fit in the application. The duration and intensity of this treatment is heavily dependent on the respective composition of […]
