High Performance Plain bearings | Benefits and Applications

Plain bearings are used to minimise direct contact e.g. between the shaft and the mount to prevent wear. Most bearings must be lubricated regularly to ensure fault-free operation. iglidur plain bearings do not require additional lubricants. They are therefore maintenance-free and represent a cost-effective alternative to metal plain bearings. They are available in various designs and in more than 10,000 sizes, here at Plain bearings online shop. The iglidur materials specially developed by igus enable a wide range of applications for our bearings in a wide variety of industries. For example, for use at high temperatures, contact with food or chemicals and under high loads.
