The material also features resistance to radiation and UV light and offers wear resistance through the entire range of continuous operating temperatures from –100 to 250°C, and up to 315°C for short term periods.
Further material properties are said to include high compressive strength, featuring pv values of maximum 1.32MPa•m/s, and low moisture absorption of approximately 0.1% by weight in ambient conditions. As a result, OEMs can benefit from an affordable and reliable bearing that operates safely over a long service life.
As with all plain bearing materials from igus, iglidur X bearings are self-lubricating and maintenance-free, making them a ‘fit and forget’ solution.
