Above is a test to determinethe maximum running speedof an igubal® pillow blockbearing.
This is an example of frictionand abrasion measurement ina rotation test.
Pictured is a bench test forloads up to 21,755 psi andtemperatures up to 482degrees Fahrenheit.
Also log on to use the igus® lifetime predictability tool, the expert system. Today, design engineers need predictability, reliability andspeed more than ever. With the help of the igus® online expert system, engineers can determine which bearings are best for theirapplication and receive a service-life analysis based on decades of empirical test results in just minutes!
Quality from the igus® laboratory:
igus® has more than 40 years of experience in providing customers with plastic bearing solutions. Every year, igus®
engineers develop more than 100 new plastic compounds and conduct more than 8,000 tests on iglide® plain bearings,igubal® spherical bearings, and DryLin® linear guides. Over the years, this has made it possible to establish a large databaseof plastics’ tribological properties. All of these test help us in formulating our expert systems, which will provide you with alifetime in hours based on your specific application parameters.
