What is iglidur?

iglidur are materials developed by igus. They consist of high-performance polymers and are characterised by special specifications. For example, they are exceptionally wear-resistant or suitable for contact with media and chemicals.

But what are iglidur materials made of? And what is behind the self-lubricating effect? Find out more about the specifications and composition of iglidur plain bearings.

Choosing the right shaft material

The right choice of shaft and plain bearing plays a decisive role in a well-functioning bearing system. Plain bearings protect the often significantly more expensive drive shaft and the components surrounding the bearing point from wear. It is therefore particularly important that this wear only occurs in the plain bearing and that it is replaced in good time. However, the shaft is often neglected when designing the bearing position. Find out how to correctly match the two components to each other.

What are hydrodynamic and hydrostatic plain bearings?
