igutex TX2 with felt seal
The new igutex TX2 with integrated felt seal was developed for applications in particularly harsh environments where high loads, dirt and dust occur.

Due to the special shape of the bushings, the inserted seal is fixed in the component and protects the bearing point from dirt ingress.

What we developed the igutex TX2 seals for
igutex plain bearings are generally insensitive to dust and dirt. However, the greatest challenge lies in corrosion protection. The ingress of dirt can damage the anti-corrosion coating of the shafts. The consequence: rusted shafts, which can subsequently lead to extreme bearing wear.

igus has now developed the new integrated felt seals for igutex TX2 plain bearings especially for use in high-load applications. These reliably protect the heavy-duty bearings from dirt and dust and ensure lubrication-free operation without corrosion.

Wound plain bearing for high load capacity

Tribo plain bearings made of high-strength filament fabric are used for particularly high loads. Here, the extremely tensile filament with its specially interwoven design ensures the highest resistance and allows for a maximum permissible compressive strength of 400MPa. The newly developed material was extensively tested on the indoor and outdoor test rigs in the 4,000m2 igus test laboratory.
