UW spherical ball, for underwater applications

igubal UW spherical ball – the specialist for underwater applications

The UWEM spherical ball, manufactured using the injection moulding process and belonging to the E dimensional series, is made of iglidur UW. This tribologically optimised high-performance polymer has been specially developed for applications involving fast and continuous rotations in liquids, but is also suitable for dry operation. This is particularly advantageous for applications that run both dry and in liquids. iglidur UW is characterised by extreme wear resistance under water and high media resistance.

The solid lubricants contained in the material make regular maintenance unnecessary and protect the environment by replacing external lubrication over the entire service life. The spherical design enables movement in multiple directions, thereby offering high flexibility for dynamic applications.
