Can I use materials underwater?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

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 […]

I didn’t find what I wanted in the catalogue. Can I also buy iglidur with special dimensions or custom-made?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Yes. We make iglidur plain bearings according to your wishes and ideas. No minimum order quantity. For this, we make use of the latest manufacturing methods. Whether this involves conventional injection moulding of igus injection moulds made of steel, aluminium or plastic; machining of bar stock; or completely constraint-free 3D printing; as well as coating of metal […]

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 […]
