xiros® pillow block ball bearings

The xiros® pillow block units from igus® are not only up to 60% lighter than metal ones but are also up to 40% more cost-effective. They allow lubrication-free, low-friction operation with a high standard of hygiene.

Resistance to corrosion and various media is a further advantage of polymer pillow block bearing units.

In addition to the fixed versions, pivoting pillow block units that compensate for misalignment are available.If required, these are also available as completely metal-free and at the same time non-magnetic solutions with glass balls.

A 1:1 replacement of metallic pillow block bearings is possible.

Available inner diameter of locking variants: 6, 10, 15, 17, 20, 25, 30mm
Available inner diameter of the pivoting variants: 8, 10, 12, 20, 25, 30mm

 

Pillow block ball bearings in metal housings

With the new spherical insert bearings, you can optimise existing systems by using pivoting plastic bearings in metal housings. The advantage lies in the capacity to take double load compared to single-row xiros radial deep groove ball bearings - lubrication and dirt-free.
▲ Tech up:

• One-to-one replacement of metallic ball bearings in common UC pillow block bearings

▼ Cost down:

• The absence of lubricants makes these maintenance-free

The xiros pillow block ball bearings are lubrication-free, extremely resistant to corrosion and media and have a long service life. We offer the pillow block ball bearings in two versions: locking or pivoting. If required, these are also available as completely metal-free as well as non-magnetic solutions with glass balls. A 1:1 replacement of metal pillow block bearings is possible without any problems due to the identical dimensions.
