German igus latest maintenance-free rotary ring bearings

The swivel ring bearing manufactured by Igus AG in Germany is a completely maintenance-free and lubrication-free out-of-the-box solution for replacing existing ball-type rotary systems. These bearings can be used in a wide range of applications, especially rotating systems. This rugged and lightweight "iglidur PRT" slewing ring bearing is made of a special "iglidur J" material that is highly corrosion-resistant and low in coefficient of friction. The igus slewing ring bearings are completely maintenance-free and lubrication-free, all with aluminum alloy (or in combination with V4A stainless steel shaft). The surfaces rubbed with the sliding plate are surface hardened, and all the fixing bolts are made of stainless steel. The swivel ring bearings made by igus are very robust, easy to install and extremely resistant to wear. Slides are completely maintenance-free and easily replaceable. Manual clamp, drive pin, limit clamp can be used as an attachment. In addition, special solutions such as slewing ring bearings that meet the requirements of the FDA as well as excellent chemical resistance are available for swivel rings up to 180 ° C. This engineering plastic ring bearing an extremely wide range of applications. Its range of applications range from clean environments in the medical and measurement fields to high oil and dirty environments such as foundries. Very often, the use of an assembly in an assembly room or in an indoor transmission pipeline involves shaft applications (forward, backward, or both). Such as cutting table and fixture drilling process. Most of these applications are manual. Currently, Igus has realized the feasibility of developing a gear-driven special connection for these systems. For these applications, igus can provide 01 design with a gear unit. The smallest "iglidur" swivel ring has an inner diameter of only 20mm, while the larger model has an inner diameter of 200mm. The latest model even has an inner diameter of 300mm. The largest size model "PRT-01-300" designed for greater loads and torques is capable of carrying an axial static load of 15 tons. Maintenance-free solutions are very useful for applications in heavy machinery and solar energy.
