Rod End Bearings Offer a Range of Material Choices

Rod End Bearings Offer a Range of Material Choices A new production method developed by igus means its igubal rod end bearings now have a range of spherical ball materials from which to choose. This makes various versions possible: for example, the iglidur X ball for high-pressure resistance even under permanently high-temperatures or iglidur UW for underwater applications.Iglidur J offers a particularly low friction value, while the iglidur R is a low-cost version. The next generation of igubal rod ends also has an integral lock nut. The KBRM rod end is easy to assemble, as a hexagonal housing allows customers to use a spanner along the complete shaft length.The rod end bearing is available with a shaft diameter of 10mm.Diameters of 6, 8 and 12mm will be available soon. As with all igubal machine components made of high-performance polymer compounds, the rod end bearing is dry-running and therefore maintenance-free.The service life of each version can also be calculated. They offer users not only a greater choice, but above all higher operational safety, service life and an improvement in system quality.
