Igus celebrating 30th year of iglide plastic bearing

摘要

From simple plastic to high-tech machine components igus of Rhode Island is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its iglide plastic bearing material. Three decades ago, igus presented its first iglide plastic bearing - a lubrication and maintenance-free polymer bearing for dry running applications. After decades of research with the plastic material and its tribological properties (optimized for friction and wear characteristics), today igus has the world's largest range of tribo-optimized plain, spherical and linear plastic bearings.
