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 shop configurator to first determine the iglide® material best suited for their application.
