High loads on low-cost shafts

iglidur plain bearing in grey with a beige inner surface.

Inexpensive and extremely wear-resistant under high loads

iglidur W300E is our new multi-component plain bearing. A high-strength 2-component injection-moulded plain bearing based on the universally applicable material iglidur W300 – particularly strong and durable. Ideal for use with cost-effective shafts without a hardened surface.

Tech up

Ideal for high loads from 75MPa with high running performance requirements on shafts such as HR carbon steel or 40Cr

Cost down

Up to 40% more cost-effective than comparable bearings made of steel with sliding layer

Proof

Five times longer service life on gas-nitrocarburised (gnc) HR carbon steel and eight times longer service life on 40cr compared to Q3E
gnc HR carbon steel: 55.9 µm/100 km
40 Cr: 16 µm/100 km
p = 45 MPa, v = 0.01 m/s, pivoting
