For manufacturing with 3D printers, you can choose from a wide range of technical plastics. Tribology know-how accumulated over decades is included in the development of our polymers. That way, you can find the iglidur high-performance plasticwith the perfect specifications for your application. For example for high loads, contact with food, media resistance or high […]
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 […]
Most often, worn plain bearings are clearly noticeable. Unpleasant squeaks, rattling and clattering of the entire bearing or stiff movement are typical symptoms. If the bearing seizes, there is nothing one can do about it. The plant runs up against the block. It would be nice, of course, if you knew in advance when to […]
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, […]
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 – […]
