Highly wear-resistant slide profiles made from bar stock

Sliding profiles are versatile and indispensable components in numerous industries, from the automotive and construction industries to medical technology. Their robust structure and low weight make them a forward-looking solution. With our extruded sliding profiles made from maintenance-free plastics, we offer material solutions that impress with excellent sliding properties, high wear resistance and no need for lubrication. iglidur® plastics are extremely versatile - from thermally stable variants to materials resistant to chemical and physical influences. Our profiles optimise applications and offer sustainable and cost-efficient solutions. Discover the benefits of our products and gain valuable insights for your projects.

Chain guide profiles for material handling - efficient, durable and maintenance-free

Chain conveyor systems are indispensable for a smooth material flow in intralogistics. The chain guide profiles play a central role here: They ensure precise chain guidance, minimise noise through less vibration and friction and extend the service life of the conveyor chains. Especially in continuous operation and under high mechanical loads, a robust and durable material is crucial.

Our iglidur® plastics offer the ideal solution. They are characterised by:

Excellent wear behaviour: High abrasion resistance for dynamic applications.
Self-lubricating properties: Maintenance-free operation without additional lubrication - hygienic and efficient.
High load capacity: Ideal for continuous operation under demanding conditions.

Reduction of downtimes: Durable materials reduce maintenance costs and increase productivity.

With a linear wear of [μm/km] at 3200 N, 23°C and 0.33 m/s against chain (double roller chain similar to DIN ISO 606), iglidur® chain guide profiles fulfil the highest requirements for load capacity and efficiency.

A comparison of cost-effectiveness

This illustration is exemplary and serves as a guide.
The costs depend on the profile shape and complexity, which is why an assessment should always be made on a case-by-case basis.

The advantages of plastic slide profiles

Lubrication-free and maintenance-free

Unlike metal fasteners, our plastic sliding profiles require no lubrication or maintenance. This saves time, effort and costs.

PTFE-free and PFAS-tested

We offer sliding profiles that do not contain PTFE and are tested for PFAS, which are considered harmful to health.

Resistance to corrosion and media

Our high-performance plastics are resistant to moisture, chemicals and aggressive environmental influences. This makes them ideal for use in demanding environments

Predictable service life

With the help of our expert tool, the service life can be reliably predicted, taking your parameters into account, based on extensive laboratory data.

Weight-saving

Thanks to their low weight, our sliding profiles help to reduce the overall weight of the structure, making them particularly advantageous for mobile applications.

Dirt resistance

Thanks to the lubrication-free design, no dust or dirt adheres to the sliding profiles. This minimises the risk of premature failure and increases the service life.

Production and customisation of slide profiles according to your wishes

Customised design
In addition to the standard variants, we also offer customised solutions to meet specific requirements.

Post-processing
We also offer customised post-processing. Whether shortening, drilling or milling - we customise existing profiles according to your requirements. This gives you customised solutions that are perfectly tailored to your applications. Our modern machinery and our experienced team guarantee maximum precision and quality.

Our plastic sliding profiles in use

Reliable door guide profiles for railway doors.

Door systems in rail transport must function smoothly under changing conditions such as temperature, mechanical stress and strict safety requirements. Door guide profiles play a central role here, as they promote the precise movement of doors, reduce wear and offer protection against external influences.

The material iglidur® RW370 was specially developed for the requirements of railway technology. With its high wear resistance, robustness and fire protection conformity in accordance with EN 45545, it ensures long-lasting and safe use in door guide profiles. Thanks to its maintenance-free and self-lubricating properties, the door mechanism remains sustainable and quiet in operation, even in demanding environmental conditions such as moisture or extreme temperatures.

Belt profiles - For efficient and durable conveyor belts

Conveyor belts are essential in material transport to move goods safely and reliably. Belt profiles have a central function here: they guide the conveyor belt precisely, protect against wear and prevent transport material from slipping.

The material iglidur® A160 is perfectly matched to the requirements of hinge profiles. With its high wear resistance, it ensures long-lasting and maintenance-free operation, as additional lubricants are no longer required. Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for conveyor belts that come into contact with aggressive cleaning agents, and it remains insensitive to moisture and corrosion.

iglidur® A160 also fulfils the requirements for food contact according to FDA and EU directives, making it ideal for use in food processing. This material is the perfect solution for durable, efficient and reliable conveyor belt profiles in a wide range of applications.
