The new igus spherical balls “igubal” has now introduced with economic sheet metal housing, resulting it to a lubrication-free and no maintenance polymer spherical bearings. Pillow blocks and fixed flange bearings are commonplace for the constant deposit of heavy dirt, dust and swarf, and thus frequent maintenance and lubrication is a must to expand the life.
The new injection-moulded igus spherical balls offer the customers with a lubrication-free and maintenance-free solution for their metallic pillow blocks. Igus has introduced new spherical balls which are made of highly efficient plastic iglidur J and developed specifically for cost-effective sheet metal housings. The bearings can be mounted within no time and complete solution is available directly from stock.
Mechanical engineering deals with metals and lubrication together and Igus has differed the theory. Specialist in motion plastics Igus has come up with igubal which are exchangeable spherical balls particularly for pillow blocks and fixed flange bearings with metallic housings. The cost-effective, high-performance iglidur J polymer is used to make the bearings lubrication and maintenance free.
The polymers prevent dirt and dust to deposit in the bearing, which thus reduces the sealing and avert uncalled machine downtime. Further the use of exchange bearings is also perfect in agriculture & farming, food industry or plant & mechanical engineering.
The production of igubal spherical balls are directly from injection moulding making it a cost-effective component. They can be easily mounted in place of ball bearings in already existing classic metallic pillow blocks and flange bearing housings in no time and available in low-cost sheet metal housings. The plastic spherical ball has a high durability and its service life can be easily calculated online, it is available directly from stock and is the system consists of sheet metal housing.
Iglidur J facilitates lubrication-free operation
The spherical balls produced by Iglidur J are economic and have a very low coefficient of friction in dry operation. It is best suited for outdoor applications because the material of spherical balls absorbs only a little moisture. The high-performance plastic used in spherical balls make it chemical resistant and thus exchangeable spherical balls are well suited in chemically demanding applications such as agricultural technology or even glass processing.
Iglidur J performances best in soft shafts and displays its advantages effectively. The igubal spherical balls are currently available in three dimensions for low-cost sheet metal housings (Ø 20mm, 25mm and 30 mm) as well as for cast housings (UC204-210).
