Many iglidur materials are compliant with FDA or EU 10/2011 and are therefore suitable for use in contact with food. In the iglidur plain bearing shop, you can use these requirements to filter your search results quickly and easily.In addition, for example, example, the materials iglidur A181 and A350 can be detected visually due to their special blue […]
iglidur plain bearings have been optimised for use as fixed-position bearings. This means that the shaft moves in the fixed plain bearing; but it is also possible to fix the shaft in position and design the system so that the bearing moves. You can find further information on this extensive topic in our blog article. Vote […]
Yes. Regarding shafts for iglidur plain bearings, we recommend a roughness of 0.2 µm to 0.4 µm. A low degree of roughness can cause stick-slip effects or very fine nicks in the plastic, which can occur as a consequence of high adhesion forces.

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 […]
