iglide® J350 bar stock - plate strip

iglide® J350 bar stock – plate strip
iglide® J350 combines low friction and wear stability at elevated temperatures, well-suited for long, straight guides under medium loads. It runs quietly with dependable wear behavior on common counterfaces and machines cleanly for repeatable strip profiles.

When to use it: For medium-load guide strips that see heat and require smooth, quiet sliding.
When not to use it: For food-grade washdown near heat, see A350 or A500; for severe chemicals at high heat, consider X or AD500; for budget black strips, see JB.

Industry/Application Areas

• Automation and packaging lines near warm zones
• Transport and handling rails
• General guide pads with medium loads

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)
