Plain bearing
igus has developed two new chemical-resistant and particularly durable xiros ball bearings especially for use in contact with chemicals. They are 65 times more wear-resistant than ball bearings made entirely of the plastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK). This durability is due to a combination of races and balls made of technical ceramics and a PEEK-based igus cage. Designers in the chemical and process industries, aerospace and the automotive sector, among others, benefit from their long service life.
With a new compact version of its PRT-04 slewing ring bearing, igus offers a space-saving solution for precise rotary movements under medium loads. Due to lubrication-free high-performance plastics in the sliding elements, the bearing is maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant – ideal for modern machines with limited installation space.
