Polymer bearing material finds assembly applications

Thanks to its wear resistant properties, igubal is ideal for use as a coupling such as food machines and linear systems, while its great resistance to dirt makes this state-of-the-art polymer material suitable for conveyor belts, road sweepers and stone processing. Packaging machines and animatronic attractions are only some of the many other applications that igus igubal can successfully fit thanks to its unique vibration dampening characteristics. Self-lubricating and corrosion-free, igubal parts also help adjustment mechanisms move quietly and glide smoothly, as well as lifting platforms and mobile cranes – to mention but a few possible applications. Readers can see for themselves at the FAST Exhibition, being held on Thursday this week at Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.
