Lubrication-free bearing with igus® – good for the environment and the wallet Lubrication-free and light weight The tribo-optimised iglidur® plastic plain bearings from igus® require neither oil nor grease. Due to continuous advanced developments the bearings specialist igus® now supplies alternatives more in line with environmental considerations for more and more applications that work with lubricated metallic plain and rolling bearings. The energy balance for the manufacture of plastics is very positive. Whereas the energy from 15 litres of oil is necessary to produce 1 litre of aluminum, and 1 litre of steel requires 11 litres of oil, the production of 1 litre of plastic only needs an average of 1.8 to 2.3 litres of oil. Do you allready know, that the production of plastics only requires 4 percent of annual worldwide oil requirements?
Good for the environment iglidur® bearings are lubricantfree, so that no contaminants escape into the environment. The lightweight bearings will also help to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide output in, for example, vehicles or aircrafts. Basically the reduced weight leads to lower masses and subsequently lower energy consumption.
Exciting applications www.igus.co.uk/plastics 6
A study has found that no less than half of all machine lubricants currently used in Germany seeps into soil and waters or evaporates into the atmosphere. According to a research team of chemists, mechanical engineers and environmentalists from the RWTH in Aachen, the estimates for Germany alone consume 250,000 tonnes per year. This corresponds to the amount required to fill 8,000 tankers.

In contrast to metallic plain and rolling bearings, iglidur速 plastic plain bearings from igus速 require no oil or grease for lubrication.

iglidur® plain bearings are listed from page 21 Excellent polymers, improved through precise additions of reinforcements and solid lubricants, testedthousands of times, and proved millions of times – that is iglidur®. Every year, igus® engineers develop more than 100 new plastic compounds and conduct more than 5,000 tests on maintenance-free plain bearings. Over the years, this has made it possible to establish a large database of polymers’ tribological properties. In addition to their general
properties, every iglidur® bearing material possesses a number of special features making it suitable for particular applications and requirements
Practical example igus速 bearings and linear sliding films made of iglidur速 material, which meets all demands of aseptic filling, are used here. Low adhesion and attrition factors against different kinds of stainless steel, negligible moisture absorp tion, very good stability against PES-cleaners, lubricantfree, all of that means no contamination of products of the aseptic atmosphere.

igubal® spherical bearings are listed from page 563 igubal® spherical bearings are self-aligning components made entirely of high-performance plastics.
are insensitive to dirt, liquids, chemicals and fully corrosionproof. Bearings from the igubal® range are very light, compact and economical on two fronts:
The igubal series provides designers with a complete system of self aligning bearings: Rod ends, clevis joints, flange bearings, pivot bearings and pillow blocks. Selfadjusting bearings are easy to fit, adaptable to wide angular ranges and have been used to replace special housings in many cases. ®
igubal® offers all the advantages of high-performance plastics, including dry-running capability combined with very good vibration damping. igubal® spherical bearings

Low purchase price Low maintenance and installation costs
Practical example TRIPENDO GmbH Bicycle Manufacturing The reclining wheel’s curve inclination is realized by means of rod ends in the journal link. The high top speed and rapid acceleration are partly due to the rod ends’ low weight. The bearing points do not require any elaborate sealing measures.

xiros速 polymer ball bearings are listed from page 679 The xiros速 plastic ball bearings are single-row grooved ball bearings based on DIN 625. The lubricant-free and maintenance-free ball bearings consist of four components: The outer ring The inner ring The cage And the balls The inner and outer rings are made of igus速 tribopolymers to maximize service life and minimize coefficients of friction. In contrast to metallic ball bearings, xiros速 plastic ball bearings manage absolutely without lubrication. For this reason they
are suited for a multitude of applications that depend not on extreme rotary speeds or loads, but just on lubricant-free application in contrast to permanently lubricated metallic ball bearings. These areas are for example food and medical industries, packaging and textile industries, or the chemical industry and cleanroom applications as well as electronics and office technology.
Practical example tesa scribos GmbH The xiros速 plastic ball bearings B180 are used in coated guide rollers of different machines and provides the material guidance. The xiros速 polymer ball bearings used now are cheaper by one-half and are supplied faster than the previously used bearings. Moreover, the low weight, low friction and the freedom from lubricants are congenial for the application.

DryLin® linear plain bearings, linear slide modules and drive technology are listed from page 707 DryLin® linear plain bearings are solid state, a totally different approach when compared with traditional recirculating ball bearing systems. These sliding plain bearings can basically be made of any high-performance polymer of the iglidur® series. This blends the advantages of DryLin® linear technology with those of all the various iglidur® bearing materials. DryLin® linear bearing systems are designed for dry-running. These systems are thus protected against exposure to greases and oils. As a result, ambient dust and abraded material cannot cling to the bearing surfaces. Unlike recirculating-ball bushings, DryLin® bearings have no restrictions in terms of minimum stroke length and
14
are almost inaudible during operation. The flat, compact Leadscrew linear table for variable formats and handling tasks is extremely rigid due to the hardanodized aluminum profile. All bearing points are furnished with dry-running iglidur® materials.
Practical example FESTO AG & Co. KG Electrical Servo Drives For a wide variety of formats in printing, paper, packaging, transmission and wood processing systems, Festo demonstrates the use of the SHT DryLin速 Leadscrew linear table in conjunction with its electrical servo drive.
