Sealing concept with felt

Our iglidur and igutex plain bearings with felt seal prevent the ingress of dirt and dust into the bearing point. This protects the shaft and plain bearing from wear and premature failure.

Dirt and dust are put a huge strain on plain bearings and shafts. For this reason we developed an additional safety concept for our self-lubricating iglidur plain bearings: Felt seals. Simply placed on the flange of the bearing, they prevent the ingress of dirt and thus reduce maintenance intervals and machine failures.

The innovative felt sealing systems in our iglidur plain bearings and igutex fibre composite bearings

Thanks to the innovative felt sealing system in our iglidur and igutex products, you can dispense with lubrication and at the same time keep dirt and dust safely out of the bearing point. By eliminating complex lubrication systems, you save costs as well as reap benefits from the advantages of the iglidur and igutex plain bearing materials.

Plain bearing with felt seal requires no lubrication

Clean and environmentally friendly

iglidur® plain bearings are generally insensitive to dirt and dust due to their lubrication-free dry operation. The reason is that dirt does not remain in the bearing point for very long in most applications but can trickle through it.

In applications with very high dirt loads, however, this effect doesn't suffice. In these cases, permanent relubrication is often a method used to force the dirt permanently out of the bearing point.

Thanks to iglidur plain bearings with felt seal, you can dispense with lubrication and still keep dirt and dust safely out of the bearing point. This saves you costly lubrication systems and protects the environment.
