igubal rod end bearings

igubal® rod ends spherical bearings are engineered to be corrosion-resistant, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions. Their durability extends to humid or wet environments, where they remain unaffected by weak acids and alkalis. True to the igus® brand, these rod end bearings operate without the need for lubrication, offering a maintenance-free solution. Additionally, they present a cost-effective alternative to traditional metallic solutions, providing economic benefits without compromising quality or performance.

Tested in the largest laboratory in the industry!

With their tribological specifications, our polymer plain bearings fulfil the highest requirements for a long service life without additional lubrication. To achieve this quality, we carry out over 135 trillion test movements per year in our plain bearing test laboratory spread over 250m².We test and develop materials for our rod ends under real conditions with the aim of providing the best plastic solution for your application.

The polymer rod ends are optimised for use in motion and their specifications open up new scope in design. Focus of the tests are push/pull forces, low coefficient of friction, wear, abrasion and driving forces at various speeds and bearing loads.
