In addition to dry running, polymer plain bearings are corrosion resistant and can dampen mechanical vibration. The iglidur Q2 bearings for example, are made for heavy-duty pivoting applications under harsh conditions. Being extremely wear-resistant, insensitive to edge loads and stable at high loads, they provide a good price to performance ratio.
Iglidur bearings have been tested outdoors in realistic applications under differing motion patterns, while being exposed to a variety of weather conditions.
