New from igus: spherical balls for retrofitted bearing housings2018-01-18
Pillow block and flange bearings are commonly used in construction machines and conveyor systems, therefore they are often exposed to dirt and dust. This exposure to foreign debris creates extreme loads that the bearings must endure. To withstand these harsh scenarios, metallic bearings must be regularly maintained and lubricated. With the new igus spherical balls made of the high-performance plastic iglide J, users can now rely on a self-lubricating and maintenance-free solution. The narrow igubal spherical balls are developed directly from the injection-molding process and can be inserted into existing metallic pillow block and flange bearing housings within seconds. Due to the absence of external lubricants, dirt and dust cannot adhere to the bearings, further minimizing wear. This also eliminates machine downtime. |
