Similar price, double the performance: New plain bearing all-rounder from igus At Hannover Messe 2017, igus is showing the improved version of iglidur G, the world's most successful material for plastic bearings Hannover/Cologne, April 25th 2017 – igus has improved its best-seller, the all-round bearing material iglidur G, and will be presenting iglidur G1 at Hannover Messe 2017. What makes the new lubrication- and maintenance-free Tribo polymer material so convincing is its higher temperature resistance and low moisture absorption as well as its improved friction and wear behaviour. And all of this at almost the same price. When it comes to the minimisation of friction and wear without the need for any lubrication or maintenance, customers can now choose from a catalogue that contains a wide range of bearings made of 53 Tribo plastics with special material properties. In the igus product range, customers can find plastics specially suited for construction and agricultural machines as well as for use in the food or chemicals industry. The most frequently used iglidur bearing, however, is iglidur G. Presented for the first time in 1983, it can now be supplied worldwide from stock in 650 metric catalogue dimensions with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 195 millimetres. It combines a favourable price with many attractive technical properties: a long service life across the entire load spectrum on a wide variety of rotating or pivoting shafts, even in very different ambient conditions, for example when applications are exposed to dirt, dust or impacts. At Hannover Messe 2017, igus will now be showing an upgraded version of this successful universalist: iglidur G1.
