How are iglidur plain bearings manufactured?

Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

iglidur plain bearings are mainly produced by injection moulding. At igus, we produce over a billion plain bearings per year. That’s about 3 million a day. In addition, we also use other manufacturing processes. For example, we manufacture plain bearings in smaller quantities, including turned from igus bar stock or made in 3D printing or […]

How is the wear of iglidur iglidur plain bearings measured?

Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

The iglidur Expert system works on the basis of hundreds of thousands of measurements performed systematically in our tribo laboratory . Usually, in these tribological tests, wear-related material losses are determined by measuring the volume of wear and the weight loss of the bearing. In our experience, it is more practical to directly measure the […]

The assembly advantage of a split linear plain bearing

Michael Hornung | 5. July 2019

As an alternative to lubricated ball bushings, there is the clean self-lubricating alternative of a linear plain bearing adapter. The two cylindrical types have identical installation heights and can be installed in any linear housing. The assembly in the housing is also identical for both bearings. With a split housing, the replacement of the bearing […]

What is the technical core competence of igus concerning plastic bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 2. July 2019

Over the years, the material developers of igus have developed hundreds of material compounds, of which nearly 40 have now found their way into the polymer plain bearing catalogue. The basic structure is usually the same:_x000D_   1. Base polymers that characterise the fundamental tribological, mechanical, thermal and chemical specifications of the bearing 2. Fibres […]
