In our free white papers, our plain bearing experts share their insights from practical experience as well as long-term research and development. They process different subject areas of plain bearing technology so as to provide you with advanced knowledge.
Eight times longer service life due to the use of polymer plain bearings
In this test series, St52 gas nitrified was used as a counter partner. This shaft material is commonly used for "pin-socket connections" in agricultural engineering and in the construction machinery industry.

Wear development when pivoting with increasing loads?
In the igus® laboratories it was determined that the increase in wear rate of the iglidur® plain bearings doubled in low-load pivoting movement, but still remained significantly below the wear rate of the sintered bushings.

Development of the coefficient of friction during operation
How does the coefficient of friction behave over time during operation? In comparison: metal plain bearings with PTFE inlay and plain bearing made of iglidur® on zinc die-casting shafts.
