Plain Bearings
The concern is often optimisation of component or system service life. In the packaging and beverage industries, machines operate at especially high frequencies, and component service life plays an important role. But it can be just as important to extend the product service life or life cycle. ..
igubal spherical bearings are self-aligning bearing elements manufactured completely from polymer and are therefore very lightweight. They are perfect for use in weighing systems…
This solution for transport and guide rollers is now available in a lighter, FDA-compliant version. The xiros guide rollers for labelling, packaging and food applications consist of a blue PVC tube and two fixed flange ball bearings made of the in-house material xirodur B180 and stainless steel balls…
The holiday is shifting into your own four walls. If the temperatures exceed the limit of 30°C, the only thing that helps is to jump into the cool water. Butpool lovers know the problems with a pool in the garden. The autumn and winter months do not go by without leaving their mark. Dirt, leaves and moss accumulate and cleaning turns out to be an arduous task. I need a pool cleaner…
igus has many different linear guides in its product range. For example, drylin W offers a large modular system. drylin N is the first choice for extremely low-profile installation heights. drylin T is identical in construction to the usual recirculating ball bearing guides. A representative of the shaft guides is drylin R. Since some machine […]
Wherever food or beverages are processed, filled or packed, contamination can occur. If it is salt or sugar, it is important to take a close look at the abrasive (rubbing/grinding) wear. In this way it can be determined what influence this has on the plain bearing or linear guide…
Innovative developments in the automotive industry require intelligent production methods, especially in the case of component integration. One injection moulding method that has now become established is the so-called hybrid or 2C (two-component) technique…
Hose and peristaltic pumps are widely used in medical and laboratory equipment. Liquid substances of various kinds, e.g. reagents or even blood in the dialysis machine, are transported with them…
Ball bearings have become indispensable in mechanical engineering. There are various ball bearing designs for which mass and technical composition of the components depend on the specifications of the industrial application. The following list shows the most frequently used ball bearings and where they are used…
We have often dealt with this problem. Simple plain bearings are used in most applications. As these are usually seated with a positive fit and fixed in a housing hole, it is almost impossible for them to fall out or break…
