With a few application data, it is possible to make a preliminary selection with the help of the iglidur product finder or calculate the service life with the iglidur service life calculator. The large variety of materials is quickly reduced and the suitable materials are what is left over. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You […]
At igus, we have the right sensors for linear systems, slewing ring bearings and plain bearings in the product range. They all belong to the products, which enable predictive maintenance. DLT.W – Sensor for wear in drylin T linear systems Is integrated in the liner Reports wear of the liner in good time This allows […]
Both iglidur J and iglidur W300 belong to the most wear-resistant all-round bearings in the iglidur product range. If the service life is comparable and sufficient in both cases, the boundary parameters of the application should be decisive for the choice of material: iglidur J is predestined for wet areas due to its low moisture […]
In the words of Kermit the frog: “It ain’t easy being green”. And even though he is only a hand puppet, Kermit is right – Today, many companies are doing everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint. However, transformation into a more environment-friendly company does not happen overnight. This is normally the culmination of […]
1. Cost points of view Cost reduction is an important factor for most companies. The possibility of using a cost-effective shaft material primarily depends on what bearing is selected. For example, ball bearings require very hard (60HRC or higher) and smooth shafts. The same applies to bronze bearings: the shaft must be harder than the […]
