iglidur® plain bearings in roller chains
The need to lubricate may possibly be a much larger impediment in applications with food contact. Or the noise from a rattling and clanking drive chain: while this may be a good fit on a roller coaster, this effect is undesired in other user proximate or industrial applications.
You will reduce the noise emitted by your roller chain with igus® tribologically optimised iglidur® polymer plain bearings… free of lubricants.
Advantages of dry-tech® polymer plain bearings in drive chains:
no lubrication needed
maintenance-free
good absorption of edge loads
Chemical-resistant and corrosion-free
ISO 10993 type A, FDA and 10/2011 EC compliant materials available
Low moisture absorption
low wear rates, long service life
