Explore all iglide® bearing materials used for various applications

The design concept behind every iglide® plastic bearing is to reduce costs and increase service life by eliminating the need for oil and maintenance while offering an exceptionally low wear rate.  The unique polymer material used in all of our bearings is the biggest factor behind this.  Throughout our history, we have created, designed and tested hundreds of different bearing materials all engineering with a specific function or application in mind.  We categorize all of our materials by application type in order to simplify and highlight all of the properties associated with every material.  This allows the customer to browse our selection of bearings first by entering their specifications into our Online Configurators or filters in our online Shop to first determine the iglide® material best suited for their application.  Next, simply select your type of bearing, add to your shopping cart, and checkout.  We ship within 24 hours of purchase making the process fast and simple.
