Endures harsh environments

Low friction and resistance to dirt are among the strengths of the Q290 material, which is self-lubricating. “As there is no need for lubrication, igus bearings are always ready for action,” says igus director, Robert Dumayne. “Even on machinery that has been at a standstill for long periods of time. In addition, the absence of lubricant means that there is no chance of soil contamination.”

iglidur Q290 material is now available from stock in six different inner diameters up to 50mm, with no minimum order quantities and availability for shipping within 24 hours.
