Whether in automotive applications, packaging and medical systems or in construction and agricultural machinery, the lubrication-free piston rings from igus have proved successful for years. The entire iglidur catalogue range covers 45 different materials, and if this is not enough it is even possible for users to configure their own piston rings. The most suitable materials here are iglidur J350 for high-temperature applications, the FDA-compliant iglidur A180 or the wear-resistant all-rounder iglidur J. These are also available now from stock in 24 special piston ring sizes.
