Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

In technical building systems, vehicles and the aircraft industry, it occurs frequently: mould. This is not only annoying but is also a health threat that should be taken seriously. For this reason, the plain bearings used there must be resistant to fungi and bacteria. Therefore, we subjected our iglidur materials G, G1, J, H1, X, […]

What is the difference between iglidur materials and simple plastics such as POM or PA6?

Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

iglidur materials are so-called compounds. Compounds are plastics to which special fillers, reinforcing agents and additives have been added. These give the plastic compound additional specifications such as higher mechanical stability, better sliding properties or protection against UV radiation. iglidur materials have been developed specifically for use as dry operating – i.e. without lubrication – […]

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 […]

Is the colour of the bearing freely selectable?

Lars Butenschön | 2. July 2019

Unfortunately no – the colour is usually due to the composition of the respective material and there are often only a few individual dyes that are simultaneously suitable for a material and do not have an adverse effect on its tribological properties. The wear behaviour depends on the composition of the material (the dye being […]
