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?

This depends on your definition of a heavy load. What the term ‘heavy loads’ means depends on the point of view. In general, plastics are not nearly as strong as steel and similar materials. Nevertheless, there are iglidur materials that have proven their worth at load bearing points with loads above 150 MPa (approximate load of 6 t […]
Yes. As regards the criteria that are normally used to select the ideal material for plain bearing applications, the main consideration with regard to use in a vacuum is the amount of moisture the material absorbs. Why? Most materials absorb moisture in some form and this varies according to the plastic. This moisture can come […]

“Annealing” is the heat treatment of materials over a long period of time. In the case of plain bearings, this treatment helps to reduce mechanical tension in the component and thus to ensure or improve the press-fit in the application. The duration and intensity of this treatment is heavily dependent on the respective composition of […]
