igubal® Spherical Bearing Application

igubal® bearing: spherical, pillow block, rod end application examples

igubal® bearing components can be utilized in harsh environments and require no maintenance and also corrosion-resistant in humid environments. The operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +80°C. Furthermore ,in extremely contaminated environments seals are not required . This holds true for both fine dust and coarse dirt.
Every year, igus® engineers produce over 100 novel plastic compounds and conduct over 3500 tests on maintenance-free plain bearings, establishing  a comprehensive database of polymers' tribological characteristics.

Search from over 140 applications of our customers


In a wide range of industries, solutions are technically improved and costs saved by the use of igubal® bearing elements.
