There is always ambiguity surrounding what is classed as “eco-friendly” and “sustainable” and it can be misleading for consumers. This blog looks at how igus® drylin productscould be described as the most eco-friendly sustainable product…..
igus® continually adapt the ranges of all their products. When a customer needs a special design, a special colour or a specific material, igus® run tests to establish the best combination for the customer. If the product is beneficial to the range it will be added to the standard catalogue parts. That’s exactly what happened with the black xiros® roller.
If you don’t know the surface pressure, how can you know if the bearing will work? The answer is you don’t. Understanding how to calculate the bearing pressure is crucial when trying to identify the correct bearings for your application.
Everyone wants more productivity from their products, especially if you can do that by reducing costs and limiting downtime. igus® drylin® linear bearings are lubrication free, have a predictable lifetime and can be more cost -effective than traditional ball bearing systems.
The Automotive industry relies on products being effective, predictable, long life and as low maintenance as possible. igus® have been working with companies in this industry for nearly 3 decades and the Automotive specialist Dave Spences discusses how igus® have supported the industry with development.
All applications are different and not all of them require a housing for a bearing to be press-fit into. Sheet metal applications require a different type of bearing and those bearings need to behave different to the plain bearings. Find out more here.
Protecting the bearing and shaft to ensure a longer life is a game changer. With the introduction of the felt seal, igus® have created such a product which can be used in dirty environments and will still manage to protect both the bearing and the shaft!
Small components can get overlooked when designing anything really! Sometimes it is only when it comes to replacing broken parts that people consider switching to a different material. Here’s why considering igus® products at the beginning can save you time, weight and hassle.
