for balancing edge loads

Part No.

igubal® spherical thrust bearings

The self-adjusting igubal® spherical thrust bearings are units that are very easy to assemble, and help to compensate for misalignments and avoid edge pressure. The housing pad is made of the impact-resistant, thermoplastic composite igumid® G. The spherical washer is made of iglidur® W300 material. This combination results in particularly good friction and wear characteristics during relative movements.

Easy installation
Compensation of misalignment
Compensation of edge loads
Very good friction and wear properties

When to use it?

If you want to save weight
If corrosion resistance is requested
When a bearing with low coefficient of friction is required

When not to use it?

At very high loads
If temperatures are higher than +80°C
When high speeds have to be achieved
When sliding speeds of over 0.5m/s are to be achieved

Loads

The load capacity of the igubal® spherical thrust bearings is very high at normal ambient temperatures. For high continuous loads and high temperatures, the load capacity of the thrust bearings should be tested in an experiment that simulates the application.Assembly

The housing pad is recessed and secured. The spherical washer is loosely fitted in the socket and is held in place by the shaft that is placed into the bearing.
