Maintenance-free igubal® spherical insert bearings

Bearings with igubal® spherical balls are 80% lighter than their metal counterparts. But comparably robust, nevertheless. They are also up to 40% more cost-effective and more economic in operation. They work in dry operation without lubrication or grease, which makes them maintenance-free. igubal® spherical balls are available in various high-performance plastics, each with different properties. For example, iglidur® X polymer stands up to extreme temperatures between -100°C and +250°C and maintains its full compressive strength whikst being resistant to chemicals. iglidur® J scores with low moisture absorption, High-performance FDA plastic was developed for the food industry that can be detected by metal detectors. The igubal® spherical balls are available in the dimensional series E and K.
