iglide® RW370 bar stock - plate strip

iglide® RW370 bar stock – plate strip
iglide® RW370 is a flame-retardant material for transport applications, pairing low friction with stable wear at low to medium pressures. It supports dry, clean running and vibration-resistant operation in long straight guides.

When to use it: When flame performance and reliable sliding are required in transport and rail interiors.
When not to use it: For general heavy-duty wear without flame needs, see W300; for food-grade heat and washdown, see A350 or A500; for aggressive chemicals at high heat, consider X or AD500.

Industry/Application Areas

• Rail and transport interior mechanisms
• Door, seat, and panel linkages
• Low to medium pressure guides

igus® plate strips are narrow flat stock that minimize scrap for long, straight parts. You buy only the length needed while keeping a consistent width for quick cutting and repeatable wear rails or guide pads. Strips retain iglide® advantages: dry running, low wear, and material choices for hygiene and temperature needs. Available in round bar stock, plate stock, sheet stock, plate strips, and custom profiles (upon request).

When to use plate strips

• Long, straight wear rails, guides, or pads that fit the strip width
• Projects prioritizing scrap reduction and material cost control
• Fast cut to length with simple, repeatable fixturing
• Consistent width to streamline fixture design and throughput

When not to use plate strips

• Parts wider than the strip or requiring large pocketed faces (choose plate stock)
• Thin liners, shims, or low profile wear layers (choose sheet stock)
• Curved or complex 2D profiles that nest better on larger plates or sheets
• Turned, round geometries (choose round bar)
