Improved performance and lower cost can be achieved with the new iglidur H5 material from igus. Plain bearings made from the material have many possible applications such as windscreen wipers for instance; it must work reliably under heavy loads - such as heavy rainfall and hail.
To make it tougher it has added fibres and filling materials to the base polymer. They enable the plain bearings to withstand high forces, edge loads, impacts and shocks, even under continuous load and are resistant to chemicals, fuels, oils and high temperatures (up to 200°C).
