Many iglidur materials fulfil the fire safety requirements according to UL V0 and are self-extinguishing after a short time – for example iglidur GV0. We have developed iglidur RW370 specially for use in railway applications. This material also fulfils the requirements of DIN EN 45545 HL3. – Do you need more detailed information or certificates?

In actual fact, what is understood as load capacity mainly depends on the relation of the load-bearing surface to the load to be borne. A plain bearing with a large load-bearing surface can therefore carry more load than one with a small such surface. This means that the inner diameter – namely the shaft diameter […]
All iglidur materials can be used underwater. However, they differ from each other considerably in respect of moisture absorption – and therefore in respect of dimensional change as a consequence of long contact with water – and of wear resistance. For plain bearing applications underwater, we therefore especially recommend iglidur materials with low moisture absorption and good […]
This depends on the size of the slewing ring. The maximum permissible load on the currently largest iglidur PRT, PRT-01-300, is 150 kN statically in an axial direction, which corresponds to a weight of 15 t. During movement, the permissible load is 90 kN. For the smallest model, PRT-02-20 – for applications with small loads and simultaneously high pressure […]
Plastic is easy to process and machine. Simple, conventional devices and machines as used for woodworking and metalworking are usually sufficient for machining purposes. In addition, iglidur plain bearings have a homogeneous structure. This means that you do not have to worry about roughened-up gliding layers or damaged carrier surfaces. In many cases, a changed surface […]
