Do you have any metal detectable bearings?
Yes, materials that are also FDA/EU compliant, and iglidur® DT which is metal detectable only and blue, but not FDA/EU compliant.
What temperature range can you cover with the FDA/EU compliant iglidur® bearings?
-100 to +250 degrees long term, short term we can go to +315 with A500.
How do iglidur® bearings perform with wash-down solutions?
Very well, all are chemically resistant, and some have a moisture absorption of less than 0.1%.
How do iglidur® bearings perform on 304 and 316 Stainless Steel shafts?
Very well, we can match the material to suit your application, whether it be Rotation, Oscillation or Linear, we have a material to suit. We can even send you lifetime calculations.
What if you don’t have the size I need?
We have most iglidur® materials available in bar form or plate form, so if we have a drawing, we can machine the parts for you. On the off chance we can’t facilitate what you require we can certainly sign post you to services that can.
My application is running above food product and I would like an energy chain that is FDA/EU compliant, do you have one?
Yes our TH3 range, and its also Blue. A very hygienic design, ideal for wash-down and FDA/EU compliant.
I emboss stainless steel and occasionally Teflon or PTFE coating to make sure we have a smooth low friction surface to run product over. Do you do anything that could do this ?
Yes, we can now coat Metals with our IC-05 material, similar to powder coating, it gives a surface coating of between 80-120 microns, is blue and also FDA/EU compliant. A very low friction surface.
Do you have materials that are used to prevent electro static discharges?
iglidur® F2 stock bar can be used to prevent electro static discharge.
