Polymer ball bearing range expanded
14 July 2014
Bearings specialist, igus, has expanded its xiros range to meet the requirements of a wide range of industries.

Also available are versions manufactured from hazardous-free materials for the food industry, which ensure that no harmful substances come into contact with any of the product, whilst bearings made with detectable materials can be quickly found in the event of a system failure.
igus’ xirodur cages are cost effective, and ensure the balls within the bearing are optimally spaced to maximise quiet operation. In addition, they can have FDA conformance where required to ensure further versatility.
The new axial polymer caster bearings, developed for use in conveyor systems, enable higher loads to be processed whilst reducing the risk of external damage to delicate products being transferred.
