Glass-fiber reinforced PA or PPS materials can be used as shaft materials.
Plastic-to-plastic bearing systems are becoming increasingly important in the automotive
industry. In addition to cost, weight reduction and chemical resistance,
the cost-effective production of complex design parts is the primary reasoning
for the preferred use of plastic materials. -> ->
The iglide automotive whitepaper details the various ways plastic bearings
can be leveraged in automotive applications, the pros and cons versus
other bearing types, including metal-backed and roller bearings, and which
iglide bearings are optimized for specific automotive uses. For example,
igus has developed an iglide bearing ideal for under-the-hood applications,
another designed economically for mass production and yet another that
is well-suited for applications with quick, short rotations such as seat
adjustment and mirror actuators. Igus works with its customers to find
the right solution for each individual application.
Igus’ iglide suite of plastic plain bearings offers customers the
choice of more than 7,000 sizes and styles available from stock. Iglide
plastic bearings are a convenient, cost-effective alternative to bronze,
metal-backed and custom injection-molded bearings. All iglide bearings
are self-lubricating and maintenance-free. The plastic based construction
eliminates corrosion and delivers better vibration dampening than metal
bearings.
Product lines include Energy Chain Systems* to protect and house moving
cables, Chainflex continuous-flex cables, iglide self-lubricating, oil-free,
plastic bearings, DryLin* linear guide systems and igubal* spherical bearings.
