Wiki plain bearing

What is iglidur?

iglidur are materials developed by igus. They consist of high-performance polymers and are characterised by special specifications. For example, they are exceptionally wear-resistant or suitable for contact with media and chemicals.

But what are iglidur materials made of? And what is behind the self-lubricating effect? Find out more about the specifications and composition of iglidur plain bearings.

Memilih material shaft yang tepat

Dengan pilihan shaft dan plain bearing yang tepat memainkan peran penting dalam sistem bearing yang berfungsi dengan baik. Plain bearing melindungi shaft penggerak yang seringkali jauh lebih mahal dan komponen yang mengelilingi titik bearing dari keausan. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting bahwa keausan ini hanya terjadi pada plain bearing dan diganti pada waktu yang tepat. Namun, shaft sering diabaikan saat mendesain posisi bearing. Cari tahu cara mencocokkan kedua komponen dengan benar satu sama lain.

What are hydrodynamic and hydrostatic plain bearings?

What is meant by hydrodynamic and hydrostatic plain bearings? How do these two bearing types work, what are their advantages and what are their typical application areas? Answers to these questions can be found here.

Largest test laboratory in the industry

What is tested and how is it tested?

In the iglidur test area, bearings and materials are tested for stress, wear and friction properties. Other parameters such as high and low temperatures, high load and speed are adjusted depending on the test. There are around 50 test systems in the test laboratory, on which more than 300 parallel tests are carried out. At the same time, we carry out around 11,300 tribological tests on the 250 or so newly developed plastic compounds every year. To ensure that the new formulations prove themselves in later use, they are not only exposed to external influences, but also to different directions of movement and loads - rotating, pivoting, linear, tumbling.
