Robust components for fluid technology

Around the world, manufacturers of hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as HVAC facilities rely on lubrication-free components from igus. The reason for this is simple: from short linear movements to fast rotating applications in the medium, our tribologically optimised plastics offer high resistance to wear and abrasion and withstand chemicals and temperatures. Thanks to the incorporated solid lubricants, no external lubrication is required - saving time and money on maintenance.

Hydrodynamic plain bearings

Different materials depending on the application environment, e. g.

• Extremely wear-resistant under water
• KTW-compliant
• Chemical resistance
• Resistance to high temperatures

iglidur guide rings

• No lubrication necessary
• Low maintenance
• More wear-resistant than PTFE strips
• Minimal installation work required
• Available in various materials

Lead screw dryspin

• With high helix, trapezoidal or metric thread
• With left-hand, right-hand or reverse thread
• Run quietly and without external lubrication
• High media resistance
• Available in various materials 

Less wear on the piston­rod pin

Our iglidur X plain bearings, resistant to chemicals and temperature, are also used in the ecoflow dosing diaphragm pumps from LEWA. Installed in the engine, they minimise wear on the piston rod pin.

Economical alternative to brass bushes in hydraulic cylinders

The Chapel Group relies on iglidur G plain bearings in its special hydraulic cylinders. They excel with short delivery times, prove to be significantly more economical than the brass bushes previously used and, with diameters of 20 to 45mm, are extremely wear-resistant and weatherproof.
